Wirepas Introduces the First Fully Automatic and Distributed Wireless Multi-Hop Mesh IoT Network in the Market
TAMPERE, Finland, October 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The Internet of Things (IoT) is riding high on top of the hype cycle. At Wirepas, a
disruptive new foundation for wireless mesh networks has been created and perfected.
Wirepas is proud to launch Pino[TM]-the first fully automatic and distributed Multi-Hop
Mesh IoT network in the market for Machine to Machine (M2M) and Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) solutions.

The Wirepas Pino protocol stack is simply smarter: the network itself takes on tasks
that are much more challenging, if not impossible, to optimize centrally by a single
coordinator. With Pino, all network nodes can act independently and more efficiently.
External or central control simply cannot compete.
"There are several application-specific initiatives out there to improve IoT
platforms' scalability, robustness and ease of use. They work on solving problems that
originate from the lower protocol stack layers. We turned things around, and created a
completely new foundation from the bottom up. Our customers will be able to reduce their
life-time costs remarkably," says Teppo Hemiä, Wirepas CEO.
Ville Kaseva, Wirepas CTO, explains the breakthrough: "Instead of using existing
protocols, we started with a clean slate. We took the requirements of low power mesh
networks, and analyzed which design choices at which protocol stack layers give the best
performance for the stack as a whole."
Pino's design follows high-level guidelines such as keeping all stack functionality
fully autonomous, local decision making distributed to the network, and locally
synchronous operation. The wireless medium is used efficiently in both time and frequency
domain. These characteristics result in exceptional scalability, reliability, robustness,
and energy-efficiency. Mr. Kaseva is confident: "We see Pino as the enabler platform for
IoT devices."
Pino is a true zero configuration network - installations, extensions, and maintenance
are all simple. Just power up the nodes and gateways and everything works, reliably
adapting to the environmental conditions. Due to unlimited scalability, both densely
populated networks and networks covering large geographical areas can be realized. All
network nodes, independent of the role, achieve battery-operated lifetime in the order of
years, even the routers.
The Pino protocol stack is completely hardware independent, finalizing the match to a
wide range of applications. Pino can use any open market 2.4 GHz and Sub-GHz chipsets.
This enables energy efficient indoor networks as well as city-wide networks with the use
of long range outdoor radios. Pino makes sure that the underlying hardware is always used
as efficiently as possible.
An extensive support tool package with a web tool for real-time network monitoring is
included.
Wirepas will be presenting its technology during European Utility Week in Amsterdam in
November. "We do have a few things up our sleeves by the EUW. You may want to watch our
moves," winks CEO Teppo Hemiä.
