One RF Technology is working on a new version of its standard in-house firmware. The company is using its experience from the ZigBee protocol to implement mesh functionality into its standard 868MHz products. The new version of the embedded firmware will be available in the company RF solutions in the end of 2006.

One RF Technology strives to offer its customers the latest RF knowhow available on the market.

The company is using its experience from the ZigBee protocol to implement mesh functionality into its standard in-house firmware.

The purpose behind this new updated version of the standard communications protocol, with a working name Mesh lite, is to offer the customers mesh functionality on the license free 868MHz ISM frequency band without increasing the cost of the solution.

Mesh functionality in the communications protocol allows the design of a network, wherein each node has the ability to communicate with every other node.

A mesh network is reliable and offers redundancy.

If one node can no longer operate, the others can still continue to communicate with each other, either directly or through one or more intermediate nodes.

Mesh lite will be implemented in the TinyOne Lite, TinyOne Plus and TinyOne Pro products.

A 16bit microcontroller will be used to ensure the low cost of the radio module.

TinyOne radio solutions with the new Mesh lite firmware will be available as OEM RF modules or complete radio modems.

TinyOne Lite, still under development, and TinyOne Plus will be additional members of the successful TinyOne product family.

TinyOne Lite and TinyOne Plus will be available for purchase in the end of 2006.

Mesh lite will also be available for customised battery operated low-power applications.

The new version of the in-house firmware will be available in the end of 2006.
