SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2008) - Sensinode Ltd., a pioneering/commercial
supplier of solutions for IPv6 over wireless mesh networks, today announced
it has joined the Texas Instruments (TI) Low-Power RF Developer Network.
The technology innovation and licensing company, headquartered in Finland
and focused on enabling the Real-Time Enterprise, will present its solution
on April 17, 2008 at the Texas Instruments booth (#1708) at the Embedded
Systems Conference in San Jose, Calif.
Leveraging TI's high-performance, IEEE 801.15.4-compatible RF
system-on-chip, CC2430/31, Sensinode supports the growth of the emerging
market for low-cost, small form factor NanoRouter USB and NanoSensor
devices by providing customers with advanced design solutions for the WSN
(Wireless Sensor Network) environment.
"Sensinode's goal is to create low-cost wireless sensor networks, enabling
the Real-Time Enterprise by providing solutions via low power wireless
sensor networking. Our core technology and experience uniquely positions us
to provide our partners/customers with reduced development times, lower
costs and minimized risks associated with these complex products," said
Endale Mitiku, VP Marketing/Sales, Sensinode Ltd. "We are proud to be
teamed with TI as our radio chip provider in connection with Radiocrafts
from Norway."
NanoRouter Ethernet and NanoSensor, Sensinode's acclaimed 6LoWPAN (IPv6
over low-power WPAN) technology solution for wireless sensor networks,
utilizes TI's CC2430/31 RF SoC family in a low-cost reference design that
allows deployment of applications like logistics, building automation via
WSN-Ethernet integration and wireless sensors to multiple locations in a
wide range of environments, including homes, schools and airport terminals.
In addition to its NanoRouter USB, Sensinode has a successful history of
engineering customer solutions, including software, digital and RF design
services.
Sensinode is also currently developing IP-based 6LoWPAN technology products
based on the CC2430/31, such as: NanoRouter Ethernet, NanoSensor,
NanoSensor Wall, and EthernetStick, to be used in smart buildings, health,
energy, and logistics. The products are scheduled for deployment in Europe
in early 2008 and the solution will simultaneously convert existing wired
infrastructure for many applications.
"TI is pleased to have Sensinode join our Low-Power RF Developer Network.
Their focus on product innovation, coupled with their proven ability to
customize solutions using TI's low-power RF devices, delivers a streamlined
fit with TI's overall strategy," said Mark Grazier, TI worldwide
third-party program manager.
