The patented mist® systems are the next generation of wireless sensor mesh networks and reflect important lessons learned from 30 years of experience:
» Point-to-point RF technologies – like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and RFID – require either tightly controlled business processes to attain high levels of reliability and accuracy, or expensive fixed infrastructure to provide reliable RF coverage patterns. Without one or the other, the systems are not always reliable, and this is especially true where assured communications and power are lacking.
» Mist® devices establish a SECURE network among themselves to pass each other’s data through mesh gateways. The mist® ad hoc mesh network only requires a modest percentage of possible RF paths to operate and provide very high network reliability to all devices. As a result, mesh gateways can be conveniently plugged into any available network jack and do not require engineered reader, access point, or base-station installations, as most RF system infrastructure requires. This significantly reduces installation costs.
