NeoCortec has launched a series of ground-breaking prototypes and development boards that provide a simple and easy way for designers to start working with NeoMESH. In order to be compatible with Adafruit Feather board, as a stand-alone development board or run in Feather Wing mode, the FWNCxxxx breaker board includes 2.4ghz, 868MHz, and 915MHz bands.
Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO of NeoCortec, commented, "The new board eliminates the need for engineers to create any PCB designs themselves, enabling them to launch proof-of-concept testing of the NeoMESH network protocol stack very quickly and at the lowest cost in practical applications. The Breakout Board is compatible with the Adafruit Feather ecosystem and is easily integrated with the Adafruit Feather microcontroller. For example, we integrated gateway software with Adafruit Feather ESP-32 Wi-Fi equipment. This enables designers to design a low-cost gateway design that can easily bridge the gap between low-power mesh networks and IP-based networks or customers' preferred cloud solutions."
The show showcases the company's compact, low-power NC1000 and NC2400 network modules, which address a wide range of applications based on the Internet of Things and cloud-based sensor networks, integrating smart homes and smart workplaces, metering, security, agriculture, transportation, industry 4.0, healthcare and food distribution. Average power consumption is as low as 20mA. All of its modules share a tiny 11mm x 18mm x 2.6mm space, so the target product does not need to be changed to support the full band.
The new splitter board provides easy access to GPIO to simplify customization. The U-FL antenna was the only additional component that needed to be added before the test began. Sensors and other peripherals can be welded directly to the plate if required.
