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 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^TM SoC Technology in an easy-to-integrate surface-mount printed circuit board (PCB). The LTP5901-IPM module includes an on-
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.
