Wireless Sensors Network Technology WINE (Wireless Intelligent NEtwork) is a technology, developed and patended by C-Labs, that uses time and frequency domains synchronization to reduce power requirements in low bit-rate SRD (Short-range Radio Devices) when two-way communication capabilities, low-cost and low-power are a must, like in Ultra-Low-Power WSAN (Wireless Sensor & Actuator Networks). Internet of Things (IoT) is just a way to think about WSAN, and WINE can run on the Net. WINE provides several features, like: - Multi-Hop Clustered Mesh network topology - Automatic best-path search - Network-Wide common time reference - FHSS modulation\r\n- Encryption - TX Power trimming ...and many other nice features. Brief History 2002: C-Labs starts its operation in Electronic Design and Consulting Services for Security Systems.Core competences: micro-controllers HW/SW development, Unix/Linux software and system development. 2004: C-Labs becomes TI''s 3rd Party for MSP430 and Low Power Wireless product lines. 2005: C-Labs starts the development of WINE Technology at the beginning of 2005. 2007: 2007 WINE 1.5, star topology only, is completely tested and debugged. 2008: USA, NZ, AUS and IL patents are grant, while WINE 1.9, with some clustered mesh capabilities, is under test. 2009: CA and EU patents are grant.First License Agreement with Capetti S.r.l. (WEOLO product line) is signed. C-Labs raises competences in ARM/Linux HW design, thanks to collaborations with several companies. 2010: some research projects give WINE the possibility to improve performances and capabilities, with the (unreleased) WINE 2.0. 2014: WINE 2.1 has been released in 2014. 2015: WINE 3.0 version has been actively developed, reducing power consumption (about 50%) and implementing many important features. 2016: Version 3.0.6 (June) is the first "production ready" version. 2017: start of the migration to ST platform (STM32 & S2-LP). WINE version 4.0 runs on ST STEVAL-FKI868V1. LASMON Project C-Labs takes part in the LASMON (LAndslide Smart MOnitoring Network) project together with Capetti, Gdtest and IRPI-CNR. Wireless Sensors Network Solution This is the home of HardWaves project. HardWaves project provides: - ONE, a WINE General Purpose WINE board, and - Surfer, a USB WINE Base-Station. Both are fully ETSI compliant. One (Now Rev. C) features: - 4 Analog/Digital Inputs (LVTTL levels) - 4 Open Collector Outputs (max 36 [V], 1 [A]) - 1-Wire BUS - Temperature and Humidity sensor - External EEPROM - Feature Connector - 2 AA batteries or external supply (max 36[V]) Surfer is a USB Dongle, designed to operate on any PC or Raspberry PI, BeagleBone, Arduino, and, in general, on any USB-ready device. Software drivers sources and protocol specifications are open. Headlines
