CEL SNAPs up 2 million licences

15 September 2010 News

California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) has purchased two million SNAP licences from Synapse. Synapse’s SNAP network operating system is an Internet-enabled, IEEE 802.15.4-based, instant-on, multihop, mesh network software solution designed to run efficiently over a range of popular microprocessors and microcontrollers. SNAP’s sophistication, yet compact size, continues to provide more and more application developers with the ease and speed of product creation. There are currently over 900 registered SNAP developers.

SNAP has a very small memory footprint of only 45 KB, thereby leaving more space for user applications. It can support up to 16 million nodes in a single network. Since these are peer-to-peer mesh networks, there is no single point of failure: any node can talk directly to any other node that is in range, and any node can talk indirectly to any other node via intermediate nodes – SNAP networks are self-healing.

CEL’s MeshConnect devices are designed for very low-power applications and are unique in the market with an embedded voice CODEC soon to be supported by SNAP. SNAP provides mesh routing with maximum battery life, easy connection to TCP/IP and delivers over-the-air programming. SNAP’s open source application code enables products to interoperate within an industry as well as across multiple disciplines.

Synapse and CEL are currently working on support for other popular CEL devices.
