SmartMesh IP wireless sensor networks are self managing, low power internet protocol (IP) networks built from wireless nodes called motes. The LTC5800-IPM is the SmartMesh IP integrated circuit in the Eterna® family of IEEE 802.15.4e System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions, featuring a highly integrated, low power radio design as well as an ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit microprocessor running SmartMesh IP embedded networking software.

With SmartMesh IP time-synchronized networks, all motes in the network may route, source or terminate data, while providing many years of battery powered operation. SmartMesh IP is a highly flexible network with proven reliability and low power performance in an easy-to-integrate platform.

The LTC5800-IPM’s behavior in a SmartMesh IP network is determined by the choice of SmartMesh IP network software loaded: Wireless Mote, EManager, or Access Point Mote in a SmartMesh IP network. The SmartMesh IP software provided with the LTC5800-IPM is fully tested and validated, and is readily configured via a software Application Programming Interface. Once you have purchased SmartMesh IP products, the SmartMesh IP stack binaries may be downloaded via your myAnalog account.

The pin signaling behavior of the LTC5800*WR-IPMA hardware is determined by the software loaded and is described in detail in the following product datasheets:

LTC5800-IPM = LTC5800*WR-IPMA hardware + SmartMesh IP Mote Software LTC5800-IPM Datasheet
LTC5800-IPR = LTC5800*WR-IPMA hardware + SmartMesh IP EManager Software LTC5800-IPR Datasheet

Network Features
Feature Benefit
>99.999% Network Reliability Avoids communications dropouts common with other wireless networks
NIST-certified AES-128 bit Encryption Data protected by end-to-end encryption, message integrity checking and device authentication
Scalable Uses time-slotted channel-hopping protocol to avoid in-network collisions to maximize scale while minimizing power and latency-hungry transmission retries due to congestion
Bidirectional Communications Ideal for both monitoring and control applications
Up to 10 messages/second/node Time-slotted communications avoids contention. This data rate includes built-in margin for packet retries.

SmartMesh IP Starter Kit

Product Details

The DC9021B SmartMesh IP Starter Kit provides all the tools for evaluating SmartMesh® network performance with respect to your application needs, including high reliability, ultralow power, scalability and ease of installation. This accelerates device integration and application software development.

The DC9021B Starter Kit includes five motes, or nodes (DC9018B-B), to enable you to quickly deploy a multi-hop mesh network in the RF environment specific to your application. The command line interface allows you to quickly see the list of mesh nodes in the network, as well as key performance statistics such as data reliability and latency.

The DC9018B-B Evaluation/Development Mote Modules feature easy-to-probe signal pins. In addition, the starter kit provides access to both manager and mote software application programming interfaces (APIs) over USB to enable application software development.

The DC2274A-A USB Embedded Network Manager comes factory-configured as an embedded network manager, where both the wireless-to-wired access point function and the network management algorithms run on board.

The DC2274A-B USB Access Point Mote enables customers to evaluate VManager, which supports thousands of nodes.
