    Built upon TI's market-              -- Supports large-scale mesh networks

    leading sub-1 GHz RF CC1101          -- Enables long range between nodes

    technology, with range of

    more than 800 meters out of

    the box with development kit      



    Compact software solution with       -- Easy-to-use, no need for

    small code size                         extensive development

                                         -- Low-cost solution due to small

    Uses socket API                      -- Plug-and-play solution drives

                                            faster development without the

                                            need for extensive RF knowledge

                                         -- Developers used to standard IP

                                            socket programming will be able to

                                            set up a 6LoWPAN network



    Highly self-healing and self-        -- If a node drops out, surrounding

    maintaining mesh routing                nodes will still find their way

    solution                                through the network and the

                                            connection will be maintained



    System supports hundreds             -- Enables development of wireless

    of hops                                 mesh networks with large network
