About SmartMesh IP
Dust Networks’ new standards-based SmartMesh^® IP product line achieves unsurpassed levels of networking resilience and reliability, with
advanced network management and comprehensive security. Based on Dust’s breakthrough Eterna™ SoC technology, SmartMesh IP
enables 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 Description – LTC5800-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 a decade for all motes, including routing motes, on two AA batteries.
The LTC5800-IPM Mote-on-Chip™ combines Dust Networks’ robust sensor networking solution with Dust’s breakthrough Eterna^TM SoC
Technology in an easy-to-integrate 72-pin 10 mm x 10 mm QFN package. The LTC5800-IPM integrates all radio circuitry components,
including an on-chip power amplifier, and requires only an AC coupling capacitor and an antenna for robust wireless connectivity. Dust
Networks provides a fully-engineered RF solution, comprehensive APIs, and complete development documentation thereby accelerating
customer development time and reducing customer development costs.
