Ad hoc wireless mesh network

31 January 2017 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The patented, self-managing ad hoc wireless mesh network protocol from the Danish producer NeoCortec guarantees a safe and reliable operation of sensor networks. The solution offers a choice of up to three preconfigured wireless modules – each measuring 11 x 18 x 2,5 mm – for the frequency ranges 2,4 GHz ISM (NC2400), 868 MHz SRD / 915 MHz ISM (NC1000) or 433 MHz ISM (NC0400).

Apart from the net administration, the routing process occurs entirely automatically .The patented NeoCortec Speed Routing Protocol is designed for coping with complex problems in a dynamic and huge network entirely on its own. In contrast to other present-day routing protocols, NeoCortec’s solution doesn’t determine the detailed path from A to B in advance. Instead the protocol detects which of the surrounding nodes is best suited for reaching the next jump target, and finally the end node, by accessing the ‘brain’ of each single node. While the information is flowing through the network, the analysis of the neighbouring node is used to determine the optimum route through the network. As the status of the single nodes is constantly updated in real time, the path keeps on changing depending on current topology and link quality.

Especially in cases where no continuous data exchange is required, for example if measured values are updated in intervals of minutes or hours, extremely long-life, battery-driven IoT sensor applications can be realised with this technology. Since the entire network can be put into sleep mode synchronously, battery lives of several years can be realised with an average power consumption below 20 μA.

As for the administration of the up to 64000 end nodes, no central network node is needed, so the network can be modified or enlarged trouble-free and without any great technical effort. Thus application in sectors such as smart meters, decentralised energy production, intelligent home networking, industry automation, logistics, agriculture, smart cities and so on, can be made ready for market within short time frames.

Evaluation Kits featuring five wireless modules, USB link including two virtual COM ports, display and a substantial package of configuration and demonstration software is available to support extensive functional testing as well as a quick start in project development.
