Rapid-6LoWPAN Wireless Networking Protocol Solution
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
- 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
- Gateway software available for Linux® or ADuCM4050 with various backhaul connectivity options
