DC9000A SmartMesh IP Starter Kit Ultra-Low Power, Reliable, Scalable, Easy to Install The DC9000A SmartMesh IP Starter Kit provides all the tools necessary for evaluating the network performance of SmartMesh against the needs of your application, such as high reliability, ultra-low power, scalability, and ease of installation, and provides the components needed for device integration and application development. The DC9000A Starter Kit includes five motes, or nodes, (DC9003A-B) to enable users to quickly deploy a multi-hop mesh network in the RF environment specific to the users application. Through the StarGazer evaluation software graphical user interface (GUI), users may quickly see the mesh network form, as well as key performance statistics, such as data reliability, latency and more. The DC9003A-B Evaluation/Development mote modules include easy-to-probe signal pins. In addition, the Starter Kit provides access to both manager and mote software application programming interfaces (APIs) over USB to enable users to begin application software development. The DC9000A Starter Kit operates in the 2.4000-2.4835 GHz international license-free frequency band. Starter Kits and demo boards are for evaluation purposes only. It remains the customers responsibility to verify proper and reliable operation in the actual end application.
