Evaluation kits featuring JenNet-IP wireless network layer software for the ‘Internet of Things’ are now available.

The JenNet-IP-EK040 evaluation kit provides all the components needed to create applications for IPv6-based networks for lighting and home automation, based on NXP’s JN514x series of ultralow-power, single-chip wireless microcontrollers.

The evaluation kit includes four wireless sensor nodes; four plug-in ‘shields’; two high-power modules; two high-power USB dongles; a router; a remote control; and a software development kit.

Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, the software comprises the self-healing JenNet tree networking stack; the IETF 6LoWPAN IP layer; and JIP, an application layer enabling interoperability between devices.

With the kit, up to 500 devices can each have their own unique IPv6 address. Lights and other home appliances can be easily connected, monitored and controlled over the internet.
