About SmartMesh IP

Dust Networks’ new standards-based SmartMesh

advanced network management and comprehensive security. Based on Dust’s breakthrough Eterna™ SoC technology, SmartMesh IP

enables up to 8 times lower power consumption than competing solutions even in harsh, dynamically changing RF environments. Cost

effective, Internet Protocol (IP) compatible, and widely applicable, SmartMesh IP serves an extensive range of applications, such as energy

management, building automation, renewable energy, and other implementations in smart infrastructure that call for ultra low power.

Product Descriptions – LTP5901/LTP5902-IPM

SmartMesh IP networks are built from wireless network nodes called motes. The motes include advanced hardware and advanced software

algorithms that provide resilient, reliable, and low-power true-mesh networks. Dust motes deliver unprecedented low power consumption

with a receive current of less than 5 mA and a transmit current of less than 10 mA at +8dBm (< 6 mA at 0 dBm). With Dust’s time-

synchronized SmartMesh IP networking, all motes in the network may route and may be battery-powered, powered by an energy-harvester,

or line powered. SmartMesh IP’s time-synchronized mesh networking combines with Dust Network’s innovative IEEE 802.15.4-compliant

radio design to enable battery life of up to a decade for all motes, including routing motes, on two AA batteries.

The LTP5901/LTP5902-IPM Mote modules combine Dust Networks’ robust sensor networking solution with Dust’s breakthrough

Eterna

board chip antenna, while the LTP5902-IPM module includes an MMCX antenna connector. Both PCB modules will come with modular

certifications for FCC, CE, and IC. Dust Networks provides a fully engineered RF solution, comprehensive APIs, and complete

development documentation thereby accelerating customer development and reducing customer development costs.
