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, IP (Internet Protocol) 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-IPR

Based on the IETF 6LoWPAN and IEEE 802.15.4e Standards, the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR SmartMesh IP embedded network manager

anchors the SmartMesh IP product line. It serves not only as a wireless-to-wired access point, but more importantly provides the core

networking functionality, enabling the network to achieve unsurpassed levels of resiliency, reliability, and scalability. The

LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR continuously optimizes the network and provides robustness in the face of constantly changing RF environments.

Furthermore, the network manager’s load balancing algorithms add more bandwidth for the busiest motes while maintaining traffic flow

for the rest of the network.

The LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR embedded network manager comes in an easy-to-integrate surface-mount printed circuit board (PCB) module

incorporating the LTC5800-IPR embedded network manager-on-chip. The LTP5901-IPR module includes an on-board chip antenna, while

the LTP5902-IPR module includes an MMCX antenna connector. Both PCB modules will come with modular certifications for FCC, IC,

and CE. As part of the SmartMesh IP system, the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR enables customers to integrate a standards-based wireless

network into sensors and actuators to provide scalable bidirectional communications.

The manager offers a comprehensive application programming interface (API) via a UART interface, providing full visibility and control

over network configuration, security administration, network status, and performance statistics. With its combination of low power,

compact easy-to-integrate form factor, and sophisticated network management, the LTP5901/LTP5902-IPR embedded network manager is

ideally suited for deploying resilient, reliable mesh networks in a wide variety of environments and applications.
