Mesh Network Solutions

Our mesh network implementations provide reliable communication across large areas without depending on traditional infrastructure.

Key Features

Long Range Coverage

Up to 5km line-of-sight communication between nodes using LoRa technology.

Scalable Network

Add nodes dynamically to extend coverage and improve network resilience.

Low Power Operation

Optimized for battery operation with solar charging capabilities.

Implementation Example

// ESP32 Mesh Network Node Configuration
#include 

#define   MESH_PREFIX     "OnlySnailsMesh"
#define   MESH_PASSWORD   "mesh123456"
#define   MESH_PORT       5555

painlessMesh  mesh;

void setup() {
    mesh.init(MESH_PREFIX, MESH_PASSWORD, MESH_PORT);
    mesh.onReceive(&receivedCallback);
    mesh.onNewConnection(&newConnectionCallback);
}

Smart Home Integration

Home Assistant Integration

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Temperature Sensor"
      state_topic: "home/livingroom/temperature"
      unit_of_measurement: "°C"
      
automation:
  - alias: "Temperature Alert"
    trigger:
      platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.temperature_sensor
      above: 25
    action:
      service: notify.mobile_app
      data:
        message: "Temperature too high!"

Deployment Guides

Network Planning

Consider these factors when planning your IoT network deployment:

  • Physical coverage requirements
  • Number of devices and data throughput
  • Power availability and consumption
  • Environmental factors
  • Security requirements

Best Practice: Always perform a site survey before deployment to identify potential interference sources and optimal node locations.

Security Considerations

// Example secure communication setup
#include 

// Use strong encryption
#define ENCRYPTION_KEY "your-32-byte-encryption-key"

void setupSecureComm() {
    // Enable SSL/TLS
    WiFiClientSecure client;
    client.setCACert(root_ca);
    
    // Enable encrypted storage
    preferences.begin("secure-storage", true);
}
