Kit provides all necessary tools for evaluating SmartMesh networks

Available now from Farnell element14, LTC's Dust DC9000 SmartMesh IP Starter Kit provides all the tools for evaluating a SmartMesh network's performance and ensuring high reliability, ultra-low power, scalability and ease of installation. The DC9000 Starter Kit includes five motes, or nodes (DC9003A-B), to enable the rapid setting up of a multi-hop mesh network specific to the user's application. The StarGazer evaluation software graphical user interface allows the user to see the mesh network form, along with key performance statistics such as data reliability and latency. The DC9003A-B Evaluation/Development Mote Modules feature easy-to-probe signal pins. USB access is provided to both manager and mote software application programming interfaces (APIs) to enable application software development. It should be noted that the DC9000 Starter Kit operates in the 2.4000GHz to 2.4835GHz international licence-free frequency band and that starter kits and demo boards are for evaluation purposes only.
