Press Release: Research project for intelligent sensor networks together with Ericsson and the ...

N/A — Wed, 11 May 2005 13:00:00 +0100

CRL Sweden will start a new three year long research project together with the University of Kalmar and Ericsson Microwave Systems AB. The project is called "Sensor Networks in Hazardous Environments".

The project will be a part of the KK-financed (the Knowledge Foundation http://www.kks.se) research program "Industrial development for a sustainable society" http://www.sustainabledevelopment.se.

CRL Sweden has been granted financial support by the Regional Council of Kalmar http://www.regionforbundet.se for their participation in the project.

The project will deal with the development of intelligent sensor networks for hazardous environments. Generally, such networks can be used in a variety of applications where it is desirable to be able to randomly deploy the sensors over large areas to collect measurements from the environment, for e.g. temperature and chemical or biological substances. More information regarding the project will be announced later.

The research project will focus on three technical fields:

RF front-ends (OSI 1-2): Suitable RF communication and software interface in connection with ad hoc routing protocol.
Ad hoc routing protocol (OSI 2-3): Suited to the specific needs of the sensor network and its communication characteristics.
Distributed software architecture (OSI 5): Software communication/ interconnection algorithms for distributed communication architecture and relationships between nodes in the network. Algorithms for logic interconnection between different hosts e.g. closest neighbour(s) interconnections. Communication structure enabling implementation of fusion algorithms. Use of autonomous mobile agents to implement these capabilities may be one approach.

Further information about the project will be available continuously on CRLs homepage during the spring/summer.

Mesh Protocol ready for both Windows and Linux!

N/A — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 13:00:00 +0100

For the expediency and satisfaction of all our customers including product vendors and system integrators, CRL Mesh technology has now been made more dynamic, versatile and operational for both Windows and Linux operating systems. CRL has taken a giant stride by introducing highly advanced Mesh Networking algorithms which can be easily used in all Win32-based platforms. Additionally, our Mesh Networking algorithms can perfectly be integrated to networks with both Linux and Windows Mesh Networking units. This advanced feature has enabled Windows client nodes to act as Mesh repeaters, extending the Mesh Network size, capacity and redundancy consequently.

This technological expansion has opened numerous doors for our clients who can utilize our Mesh technology for a wide variety of applications. As for instance, CRL�s Mesh Networking algorithms can easily be integrated and even be made a part of the Mesh Networking infrastructure, with tactical response unit networks where Windows-based base stations are regularly employed.

Not only this, our Mesh protocols can be ported to any other operating system and hardware for customized solutions for our customers belonging to various sectors. CRL�s never ending journey of innovation and development continues as we launch ��clair�, a Linux based networking firmware, which can perfectly and readily run on any hardware platform and architecture.

Communication Research Labs Sweden�s amongst one of the leading company in Mesh Technology Solutions is owing to its customers� visions and needs which have driven us this far. Our extensive development in Mesh Technology solutions is the results of several intensive customer requests. One of the major conditions for this rapid and ongoing development is that Mesh Framework is based on a unique generic frame, thereby providing stable prerequisites for porting to all kinds of hardware, operatives and protocols. Due to nature of rapidness in the process, it also provides economic competitiveness. This efficiency and effectiveness, consequently, saves cost for our valued customer�s.

We are indeed looking forward to further requests explains CEO Bj�rn Karlsson. If this is of interest, please contact us for OEM licensing, solutions or further technical discussions on the high tech Mesh solutions we can provide for your systems and products.

CRL Mesh support for reactive protocols!

N/A — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 13:00:00 +0100

There are Mesh-suppliers supporting AODV, those supporting OLRS, or proprietary solutions. CRL Sweden has all three alternatives, integrated, and continuously develop their Mesh Framework further and further. CRL probably offers the most flexible and functional solution on the market today. A true dynamic routing for multiple protocols.

OLSR is a proactive* protocol, already fully supported in CRL Swedens Mesh Software. Since earlier there is also support for both the standard Mesh protocol (IETF RFC OLSR) and a proprietary version optimized for smarter routing and for making better use of net capacity between nodes. OLSR is a perfect solution for example in WiFi Broadband Networks as well as for smaller network of mobile units.

AODV is a reactive** protocol. With support for AODV, the customer can achieve ground braking solutions for various kinds of communication systems. Like radio systems for tactical communication, military special applications and surveillance nets. As always, CRLs Mesh protocols and firmware can be adapted to different hardware platforms and radio technology (not only WLAN with 802.11a/b/g).

CRL Swedens rapid technological development is a continuous distilling process, fueled by customer requests. Already their latest Mesh Protocol solution including AODV, is up and running in military communication systems for long distance radio based on custom proprietary radio technology. Mesh protocols from CRL Sweden are compatible with all existing network protocols and applications. CRL Sweden are involved in some of the leading international R&D Mesh projects, but their business is to transform this research into ready working products for practical, robust use. CRL offers turn key as well as customized Mesh solutions and today supplies customers all over Asia and Europe.

Reactive protocol:

That means it does not make the nodes initiate a route discovery process until a route to a destination is required. This also requires less memory and calculation. Usually, every node maintains a table, containing information about which neighbor to send the packets to in order to reach the destination. So this feature means, nodes that are not on active paths do not maintain routing information and do not participate in routing table exchanges. This leads to lower overhead than with proactive protocols, but possibly higher latency in finding new or broken links/ routes.

The OLSR is a so called proactive protocol, which means that each network node regularly (configurable) sends beacons to its neighbors of nodes with a specified interval to disseminate the network routes to each other. The speial algorithm for this behavior is constructed in a sophisticated way to reduce the routing overhead traffic. It reduces the size of control packet as well as the number of control packets transmission required. The connections are made very quickly, and suits for e.g. mobile networks, and networks with relatively high bandwidth.
