How does Arch Rock achieve long battery life and still remain responsive?
To meet low power-consumption requirements yet achieve highly reliable, efficient and scalable meshed wireless communication, Arch Rock has created breakthrough network protocols on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard. The company’s innovative link-layer protocol implements the concept of “passive vigilance,” which allows sensor nodes to “sleep,” using minimum energy, while remaining responsive to “wakeup calls” from the network when data need to be collected, alerts generated or packets routed.
