SmartMesh IP M600x Mote Module

SmartMesh IP M6000 Module

SmartMesh IP networks are populated by motes, the nodes on the network.  Based on Dust’s breakthrough Eterna™ technology, the motes are ultra low power, extending battery life to years and many times that of competing products.  In addition to extra long battery life, the motes feature an advanced array of features.

The SmartMesh IP 802.15.4 Mote Module (M600X) incorporates the DN6000 Mote on Chip with either an on board UFL antenna connector or a chip antenna. The module is FCC, IC, and CE certified.

Technical Highlights:

  • M6000: U.FL antenna connector 37.5 mm x 24 mm surface mount module
  • M6001: Chip antenna 42 mm x 24 mm surface mount module
  • Rx Current: 3.5mA
  • Tx Current @ 0 dBm: 4.4 mA
  • Tx  Current @ +8 dBm: 8.7 mA
  • Peripheral Interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, 1-Wire®, GPIO, Analog input
  • IEEE 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz), Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
Feature Benefit

8x Lower Power

Based on Eterna™ 802.15.4e SoC technology, extends battery life to years
Highly Integrated Hardware  Includes the DC-to-DC converter, on board PA, and antenna-matching circuitry. Reduces BOM cost by minimizing the components needed.  

Pre-engineered RF

RF elements are pre-tuned for optimized performance, including temperature compensation, saving development time.

Antenna-ready

Simply attach antenna.

Single  Mote Type 

All nodes are the same full-functioned devices that route. Avoids complexity of having distinct routers vs. non-routing end nodes. Retains flexibility to configure nodes as non-routing if desired to save even more power.  Allows easy expandability of network.

Battery Powered Routers

Can build out a network without any line powered devices. Flexibility to be line powered or energy harvested if desired.

Highly Accurate Time Stamping

Time stamping on every node is available to applications with millisecond accuracy
Silent RF Mode

Temporarily turns off RF transmissions for radio (RF) sensitive sensor measurements

Location Aware

Motes can be queried for their current location

Energy Harvesting Support

Very low power design enables motes to be powered by a wide variety of energy harvesters

Advanced Software Design for Simple Integration

Mote API simply becomes the wireless interface for your application. The mote can also provide readings for a specific set of functions, e.g., temperature and humidity, for use in your application.

Multiple Peripheral Interfaces

Includes I2C, SPI, 1-Wire®, GPIOs, and UART interfaces

Integrated Temperature Sensor

Precise temperature sensor is integrated directly into the mote.

Standards-based

Based on 6LowPAN and IEEE 802.15.4e standard
