RapidNet IP Wireless Networking Protocol Solution
RapidNet IP protocol is a long range sub-GHz wireless networking solution that addresses industrial and commercial applications where reliability, robustness, scalability, and battery life are critical. Applications such as electronic shelf label (ESL), smart lock, and smart infrastructure can be realized by RapidNet IP.
RapidNet IP is a complete point-to-multipoint wireless networking solution operating in sub-GHz worldwide regional bands. RapidNet IP protocol uses star-repeater network topology, enables longer range communication with faster message transmit times.
RapidNet IP leverages the market proven ADF7023 radio transceiver and lowest power ULP processors (ADuCM3029 or ADuCM4050).
Features and Specification
Efficient low power network
Low power IEEE802.15.4g/e wireless network with time synchronized channel hopping (TSCH)—no collisions and no lengthy receive waits
Lowest power consumption per node with star and extended star network topology configuration.
Reliable end-to-end communications with acknowledgements
Long range
Typical range of 500
m (2 hop and confguration setting dependent)
Data rate and frequency
High throughput (4 pks/sec at 1
kB per packet)
Fast network join time (for example, 256 motes in 47 sec)
Low latency—minimum of 5 sec network loop cycle
ISM frequency band support (433,868,915,920
MHz)
Multiple data rate support (37.5
kbps to 300
kbps)
On-demand bandwidth allocation (for example, up to 1
MB per node/1 hr)
Supported modes:
Current consumption:
Active: <10 µA ave. (3 updates of 1
kB packets/day case)
Sleep: <1.5 µA
FCC and ARIB STD T108 regulation test feature support integrated
Supports OTA (over-the-air) update
Reliable scheduling of alert messages from any or all motes
Sample software available for Linux® or
ADuCM4050-based gateways with various backhaul connectivity options
