Introduction The SmartMesh IA-510 D2511 network manager combines Dust Networks’ robust intelligent networking and industry-leading low-power radio technology to achieve the high data reliability, lower latency, and deterministic power management required for condition monitoring applications. The D2511 acts as both a gateway and network manager for up to 250 SmartMesh IA-510 motes (DN2510 or M2510), creating a self- configuring, reliable wireless mesh network.
1 - I What is a SmartMesh Network? HAPTER NTRODUCTION • Motes are ultra low-power wireless transceivers that receive serial data from attached sensors and use an onboard radio to send the packets to neighboring motes. These motes pass the packet on to other motes—and, in a series of “hops” deliver the data to the SmartMesh manager.
