SmartMesh WirelessHART

SmartMesh WirelessHART FamilyEmbedded Sensor Network Solution for WirelessHART

Based on WirelessHART, the IEC 62591 international standard, and fully interoperable with other WirelessHART compliant products, the SmartMesh WirelessHART product line includes motes-on-chip, mote modules and network managers.

SmartMesh WirelessHART products have been deployed with most of the Fortune 500 companies that make WirelessHART compliant sensor networking products for industrial applications.  Field- proven and robust even in the harshest environments, the product line is a battle tested, industrial strength full mesh networking solution.  SmartMesh WirelessHART utilizes a time synchronized mesh protocol to deliver networking resilience, reliability, and scalability, while providing advanced network management and comprehensive security features.  Dust Networks ultra low power technology extends battery life to up to 5x that of competing products.

Feature Benefit
Standards based
 Based on WirelessHART, international standard IEC 62591, for multi vendor interoperability.
Ultra Low Power Up to 5x lower power consumption than other solutions. 
Resilient and Reliable
  • Expects inevitable RF interference and hops channels to mitigate it  
  • Creates redundant routes through the mesh, keeping the network alive even in the most extreme conditions
Scalable All nodes are routers making it easy to add new nodes quickly and easily anywhere in the mesh
Secure Comprehensive and sophisticated security management, including:
  • Device authentication – choose from three levels
  • Encryption – 128 bit AES based encryption with multiple keys
  • Message integrity check
  • Synchronized key changeovers
  • Customized key rotation
Auto-Forming, Self-Healing, Self-Sustaining
  • Network Manager automatically configures and creates the network
  • Self-detects and repairs broken paths
  • Manager systematically collects network health reports from all motes and remaps paths accordingly across the network
Full Mesh Networking Not a chip and software stack for which you then have to write your own networking protocol, but a complete fully functional wireless mesh networking system
