12. Wire-like Reliability, Wireless Economics
Low power, highly reliable mesh technology proven in harsh environments
Nodes connected in a seamless, reliable and self-forming mesh network
Nodes automatically adjust to dynamic RF environment, such as blocked signals
Interference from other RF sources avoided through frequency hopping
Ultra low power devices yields years of battery life

13. The Promise of Wireless
“I do not think that the wireless waves that I
have discovered will have any practical
application.”
- Heinrich Hertz 1890
