NeoMesh adds LoRa modulation for smart buildings

Danish developer NeoCortec has demonstrated the ability to form a 2.4GHz wireless network using LoRa modulation with its NeoMesh software stack.
The combination of NeoMesh’s simple and scalable low power protocol with Semtech’s LoRa modulation are suitable for noisy environments such as buildings where other 2.4GHz radio systems such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also present.
The NeoMesh software stack is being implemented in a LoRa module manufactured by Embit. This is fully compliant with the unlicensed worldwide 2.4GHz frequency band regulations and able to be used anywhere in the world, rather than the different regions requirements for sub-GHz LoRa systems.
NeoCortec and MIKROE make wireless mesh networking simple
The EMB-LR1280S module is based on Semtech’s SX1280 2.4 GHz long range transceiver paired with a STM32L073 microcontroller and is being shown for the first time at the electronica exhibition in Munich this week.
“We are delighted to be able to unveil the first commercially-available module to feature both LoRa and NeoMesh technology at Electronica,” said Fabio Bonizzi, CEO at Embit.
“The various wireless connectivity technologies all exist because they all address different challenges. Now, for the first time designers can benefit from a combination of leading solutions. We expect this development to unlock many wireless networking opportunities in smart buildings and other applications,” said Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO of NeoCortec
In contrast to other mesh network technologies, NeoMesh is dynamic and scalable, supporting thousands of nodes. It is easy to install, requiring only one gateway and no repeaters. NeoMesh is also able to automatically reroute signals, self-healing the network, in the event of a node failure.
