Arch Rock PhyNet Router is an IP-based 802.15.4 wireless sensor networking device that connects 6LoWPAN mesh networks via Wi-Fi and Ethernet interfaces to diverse WAN links. By eliminating the need to co-locate individual wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with the server-based functions that control them, sensor applications can now reside in the next room, across a corporate campus, or half a world away, communicating with any number of WSNs across local- or wide-area IP networks.

Arch Rock PhyNet™ Router

PhyNet Router forms the internetworking tier in a scalable WSN architecture to:

  • Connect IP-based IEEE 802.15.4 low-power mesh networks with existing IP networks through Wi-Fi or fixed Ethernet backhaul links
  • Build large-scale deployments of distributed wireless sensor networks
  • Create innovative mashups of data and applications crossing physical and IT domains via web services
  • Manage multiple Personal Area Networks (PANs) from a remote centralized server
Features Benefits
Allow Nodes in the IP-based Wireless Sensor Network to communicate natively with any other IP devices on the enterprise network regardless of media link
  • Eliminates need to co-locate server with Wireless Sensor Network
  • Easily coordinate IP-device functions across network boundaries
  • Take advantage of proven IP-based security and management tools
  • Remote configuration and management
Multiple PhyNet routers can be deployed within a single PAN to provide multiple egress points out of a PAN and dynamically route around failures or RF interference
  • Increase densities of nodes within a single PAN
  • Add PhyNet Routers to improve node battery lifetime, scale PAN throughput and lower latency
  • Graceful failover between PhyNet routers ensures continuous uptime
Multiple PhyNet Routers can be managed remotely from a single server
  • Centrally manage collections of WSNs easily in complex deployments

Individuals and organizations use PhyNet™ Router to:

  • Interconnects and routes between IEEE 802.15.4 and Ethernet or Wi-Fi links
  • Forms and adaptively reconfigures routing tables to and from all nodes and PhyNet Routers
  • Supports native IETF 6LoWPAN-based IPv6 down to individual sensor nodes
