    WirelessHART & Internet Protocol Wireless Sensor Networks Achieve Industry's Lowest Power Consumption at Less Than 50µA per Node
    The SmartMesh LTC5800 (system-on-chip) and LTP5900 (module) families are industry's lowest power IEEE 802.15.4E compliant wireless sensor networking products. SmartMesh ICs and modules enable tiny sensor "motes" to be designed with a battery life of over 10 years, while companion network manager components enable the development of highly robust and secure wireless sensor networks (WSN).SmartMesh networks use a "triple-play" of wireless mesh technologies - time diversity, frequency diversity, and physical diversity - to assure reliability, resiliency, scalability, power source flexibility and ease-of-use. At the core of this technology is an intelligent mesh network with advanced algorithms and power saving technologies that enable powerful features unavailable from other WSN providers. These include deterministic power management and optimization, auto-forming and self-healing mesh technology, zero collision low power packet exchange and scalability to large, dense, deep networks.Two communication standards are supported: the SmartMesh IP is compliant with the 6LoWPAN standard, providing native IPv6 addressability to every node. The new SmartMesh WirelessHART IEC62591 compliant products double the battery life over the prior release. The LTC5800 includes robust sensor networking software in an easy-to-integrate 72-pin 10mm x 10mm QFN package. It integrates all radio circuitry components, including an onboard power amplifier and an ARM Cortex M3 32-bit microprocessor, requiring only power, ground and an antenna for robust wireless connectivity. The LTP5901/LTP5902 mote modules provide an easy-to-integrate surface-mount PCB that has undergone FCC, CE and IC modular radio certifications. The LTP5901 module includes an onboard chip antenna, while the LTP5902 module includes an MMCX antenna connector.
