Tinymesh Wireless Solution

 

Tinymesh technology is designed to enable high performance in smart sensors and industrial IoT.

As of today, more than 2 million products are using this technology developed by wireless experts, and many of these products operate in really demanding conditions.

The monitoring solutions that Tekon Electronics develops, such as the wireless transmitter PLUS TWP-4AI4DI1UT, are based on the Tinymesh™ radio frequency (RF) module from Radiocrafts. This compact and efficient RF communication module refers to a wireless mesh networking solution for various applications, including Internet of Things (IoT).

The Tinymesh™ typically involves the use of wireless modules that support mesh networking, allowing devices to communicate with each other in a networked fashion, enabling decentralized and efficient communication.
In this image, we can see an example of a connected mesh network, where each node is connected to every other node in the network.

 

Mesh Network with 6 nodes

 

Mesh networks are also characterized by each node (device) being capable of relaying data, creating a self-healing and resilient network structure. The self-healing capability allows the network to dynamically reroute communication through alternative paths if one node fails or becomes unreachable.

Moreover, mesh networks are inherently scalable, that is, additional devices can be easily added to the network without significant reconfiguration.

 

RF modules main features

The Tinymesh™ RF modules are compact and feature a fully embedded Tinymesh™ application and multi-hop mesh protocol stack with automatic network forming and self-healing features. The main features of this module are:

  • Multi-hop mesh network protocol.
  • Self-forming, self-healing, and self-optimizing abilities.
  • Bi-directional, with acknowledge and retransmissions.
  • Configurable analogue and digital input/output.
  • Transparent serial or packet mode communication.
  • Individual, Group or Broadcast addressing.
  • AES 128 encryption.
  • Data rate between 1.2 and 100 kb/s.
  • Frequency of 433, 868, 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
  • Listen Before Talk protocol.
  • Sleep mode and End Device (battery) operation.
  • Seamless integration with cloud service.

The Tinymesh™ network is self-forming, created by starting gateway units that invite end devices (wireless transmitters) within a RF range to join in the network. The transmitter joins the network after verifying the invitation. Within seconds of powering up the Gateway, a large network may be created automatically.

Devices in the network continuously evaluate alternate connections by comparing the hop level and signal strength of received packets. Thus, the Tinymesh™ network must have at least one gateway to initiate the network formation, and to keep the network alive.

 

Tinymesh Technology

 

The Tinymesh™ stack also supports implementation with multiple gateways, where additional gateway devices provide redundancy and data traffic load sharing. The end devices (wireless transmitter) will normally be in low power sleep mode for battery saving.

 

Tinymesh technology makes things easy

Overall, Tekon Electronics offers a range of a reliable wireless sensor technologies specifically designed to have a simple and easy connection relying on Tinymesh™ to enable smart metering and Industrial IoT applications. With this agile technology, Tekon Electronics products allow up to 4 km line of sight (LoS) range communications, low power consumption, and a configurable communication period with a minimum of 1 second. The DUOS UTEMP system is a great example of Tekon's wireless solutions that rely on Tinymesh™.

Our products also offer a complete, simple, and cost-effective connectivity solution that provides a robust wireless network infrastructure, enabling companies around the world to harness the value of smart technology.

Tekon Electronics continues to reaffirm its contribution to innovation, providing competitive and distinctive IoT solutions.
