TME stocks NeoCortec low power, bi-directional wireless mesh network modules
Polish distributor, Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) has signed a global distribution deal with NeoCortec to supply the manufacturer’s low-power, bi-directional wireless mesh network modules and its protocol stack.
NeoCortec’s NeoMesh wireless network modules are based on a decentralised mesh of self-governing nodes which are not dependent on a network co-ordinator. A virtually limitless number of nodes can be added to an existing network. This means that even the largest buildings can be covered with only one network and without any additional infrastructure, said the company. NeoMesh uses accurate time-synchronisation between the nodes, allowing nodes to sleep and wake up efficiently only when required. Most of the time the nodes are asleep with their radio turned off. However, at scheduled intervals the radios wake up to listen for messages and to send messages if required, before going back to sleep to reduce average power consumption to typically only a few 10s of microA. This enables battery powered operation on a single set of two AA batteries for several years.
The NeoCortec protocol stack is offered for both 2.4GHz as well as sub-GHz frequency bands, delivered in a series of pre-approved modules as well as a license to selected SoCs.
The modules suit a range of applications based on IoT and cloud-based sensor networks, including smart building and smart workplace, metering, security, agriculture, transportation, industry 4.0, medical and food distribution. All NeoCortec modules share the same tiny 11x18x2.6mm footprint, so the target product does not need to change to support a full range of frequency bands.
NeoCortec was founded in 2007 with the aim of developing and patenting several innovations related to wireless sensor networks. Today, NeoCortec supplies low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network modules.
NeoCortec is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) was founded in 1990.
