Page 9: Wirepas Massive Network
Wirepas Massive Network 4.1 Overview Wirepas Mesh is a de-centralized wireless communication protocol for IOT devices where the devices contain all the intelligence, making all decisions locally and co-operatively for maximum reliability and scalability. Wirepas Massive network is a wireless protocol providing reliability at its core, it is a fully de- centralized, self-healing mesh network technology. - Page 10 A network is formed by nodes that share the same network parameters. A network can consist of multiple gateways, resulting in multiple trees. A tree consists of all the nodes that are attached to a gateway. A node is always connected to a single upper node in the tree at a time.

Page 11: Wirepas Operation
4.2 Wirepas Operation Example of a Wirepas Massive Network: Diagram Identification Network Component Gateway Anchor (Routing node) Non-Routing Node A Wirepas Massive network consists of three different types of devices, one or more gateways, anchors (routing nodes) and Non-Nodes. Each device type can be added to an existing network at any time making the network easily scalable in terms of area coverage, number of connected devices and localization accuracy. -
Page 12: Mode Of Operation
A non-routing Node is a tag that sends information about its position, for example an asset tracking tag. 4.2.1 Mode of Operation Wirepas Massive supports two modes of operation: Low Energy mode and Low Latency mode. The mode selection is a per-device configuration, this allows devices with a different mode of operation to be mixed in the same network. -
Page 13: Device Roles
4.2.2 Device Roles Each device in the network must be assigned a role. Up to 14 nodes can connect to a sink or router simultaneously Router role: A router is a node that transmits data between multiple nodes in the network and form a multi-hop data forwarding topology. -
