SensiNET Mesh Router The SensiNet MESH-1020 is a message-routing device for data
acquisition that automatically configures itself into a wireless mesh
network and serves to wirelessly extend the reach of the entire SensiNet
system by receiving and re-routing messages. This extension can be for
the purpose of additional path redundancy or to extend the range of the
network beyond that which is capable of a single point to point
connection.
The MESH-1020 maintains both primary and secondary connections with
other SensiNet devices to assure total data acquisition reliability and
redundancy. It needs no data wiring, and includes battery backup. The
MESH 1020 provides an extraordinary level of fault tolerance to the
SeniNet network through its ability to seek new communication paths in
the event of primary and secondary path disruptions due to hardware
failures or radio path interference.
SensiNet Network Benefits
Reliable–Mesh networking provides multiple acknowledged and
error checked communication paths for data acquisition ensuring the
message always gets through while spread spectrum , frequency hopping
radio technology eliminates interference effects. The network is also
self healing and able to recover from interruptions by seeking alternate
paths.
Flexible -Move, add or eliminate sensors and the network reconfigures
itself automatically.
Universal–Multiple protocols including Modbus,
OPC , SNMP, ODBC, and Web Services ensure system compatibility or
operate the system as a stand alone data logging system with local or
web based logging.
Scalable -The same network can start with a
single point and grow to thousands without replacing any components or
performance degradation.
