Synapse has demonstrated its out-of-the-box, plug-and-play, self-forming wireless control and monitoring network solution at the Freescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida.



It is common to see advertisements for "off-the-shelf" wireless control and monitoring offerings. As many users have discovered at great expense, however, designing, implementing, and configuring a conventional wireless network is not a trivial task. Using currently available off-the-shelf hardware as a starting point to build a working solution, for example, can easily take nine-months and require high-level programming skills and intimate knowledge of wireless control networking.



In order to address this problem, Synapse has developed an out-of-the-box, plug-and-play, low-power, self-forming wireless control and monitoring network solution. At the core of this solution is the long-range, low-power Synapse RF Engine module coupled with a high-performance, low-power, small memory-footprint wireless control network protocol called SNAP (Synapse Network Appliance Protocol).



Based on state-of-the-art microcontrollers and 2.4GHz radio technology from Freescale Semiconductor, the Synapse RF Engine is a plug-in RF transmitter-receiver module that can be used in conjunction with users' own devices or with Synapse's products. The Synapse RF Engine is available in a variety of configurations: with or without amplification, with an internal (F) antenna or an external SMA antenna, and running SNAP or a full IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee protocol solution.



"We are pleased to welcome Synapse to the Freescale Technology Forum," stated Ryan Kelly, Wireless Connectivity Marketing Manager at Freescale Semiconductor. "Their SNAP and RF Engine technology is designed to enable quick deployment of wireless control networks so our mutual customers can quickly get to market with wireless solutions."
