RIIM™ (Radiocrafts IP Mesh) is an embedded RF system designed to be an all-inclusive, easy to use mesh, with direct IP addressing. The RF protocol is the IEEE802.15.4 g/e standard. RIIM™ includes an Intelligent C-programmable I/O (ICI), which makes it possible to directly interface to any sensor or actuator, and, it supports Mist Computing. RIIM™ does not require any license or subscription fee.
Important benefits of RIIM™ include:
- Short development time – The complete network is supported from the module.
- IP to the sensors/controllers from the cloud – Each network node has an IP address and a CoAP client/server.
- IPv6 supported in the RIIM network.
- IPv4 supported from the Border Router.
- Self-forming, self-healing mesh network, no setup at instillation.
- Fully automatic setup at installation.
- Automatic re-routing when network problems are detected.
- 10 x 10 km urban coverage in release 1.0 – Sufficient for industrial requirements.
- Supports up to 29 mesh hops.
- Range in urban environments is 200 meters in release 1.0.
- Line of Sight range is 5 km in release 1.0.
- “Global support” – Software configurable 915 MHz or 868 MHz frequencies.
- Connects to any sensor chip/controller via Radiocrafts’ ICI framework.
- ICI is a tool provided by Radiocrafts which allows our customers, even the ones with little to no RF experience, to easily create a smart autonomous autonomous network sensor node which can read and manage any sensor you can think of and perform local data processing in less than 100 lines of high-level C-code.
- Very Low Power, coin cell battery operation possible – The leaf nodes can be put in “Sleepy” mode, reducing current consumption to a minimum.
- The IPM module output power is configurable. Allowing the user to reduce power and current when not needed.
- Future proof by Over-The-Air updates (OTA).
- You can update/upgrade your ICI application code even when the network is already deployed and fully operational, meaning, new sensors can be added to the network when the need arises.
- Tailor made solutions available through Radiocrafts design services.
- The standard solution can be modified to fit individual customer requirements that are not covered with the standard solution.
- Designed to meet tough industrial requirements.
- Built on proven solutions: IEEE802.15.4 e/g, RPL routing, 6LoWPAN, CoAP.
- All modules are fully tested prior to shipment.
