IoT SBIR DLR

2. DLR IOT RF Mesh
• Initial proposal for RF mesh
creation looked at 1000
nodes on public light
lanterns –this is the
backbone
• More nodes = stronger
mesh
• Low-data devices do not
need WiFi.
– WiFi
• Energy expensive
• Short range
• RF Mesh
– Up to 300m range
– Low energy
– Not stopped by trees or
buildings

3. Project
• Existing technologies
are bulky or designed
with very specific host
devices in mind.
• We need a more
flexible option…

4. Why DALI/TALQ?
• Our mesh network is already in place.

5. Potential Audience
• Flood monitoring
• Smart bins
• Traffic counters
• Smart meters
• EV charging
• And more…
