• Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) and CoAP Secure Management Policy (CSMP) Network
Management
• Raw Socket TCP—non-IP serial devices connectivity
• Real-Time Clock—for maintaining the current time
• Temperature Sensor—for measuring internal temperature of the device
• IP30 enclosure
WPAN Range Extender Features
The WPAN range extender extends the range of an RF wireless mesh network, providing longer reach
between WPAN endpoints and other WPAN networks.
WPAN range extenders support the full CG-Mesh network platform, including IEEE 802.15.4g/e, IEEE
802
.1X, IPv6, and RPL.
The WPAN range extender features:
• Small form factor IEEE 802.15.4g/e 902-928 MHz frequency band operation
• 1 x Serial console port for configuration and management
• Real-Time Clock—for maintaining the current time
• Temperature Sensor—for measuring internal temperature of the device
• Ruggedized IP67 outdoor enclosure
• Optional battery backup
