EV-6LOWPAN-900Z
Analog Devices offers Rapid 6LoWPAN Protocol—a long range sub-GHz wireless networking solution that leverages the market proven ADF7023 radio transceiver and lowest power ULP processors (ADuCM3029 or ADuCM4050).
Rapid 6LoWPAN Protocol uses star-repeater network topology, targeting commercial and industrial applications such as electronic shelf label (ESL), smart lock and structural health monitoring (SHM).
Features and Specification
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)

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
Gateway software available for Linux® or ADuCM4050 with various backhaul connectivity options
