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).

 RapidNet IP Network Topology.

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:
    • Master mode (on-chip applications)
    • Slave mode (application coprocessor)
  • 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
