Synapse Wireless Synapse SNAP

Synapse's SNAP technology is an Internet-enabled, IEEE 802.15.4-based, auto-forming, multi-hop, mesh network, software solution that is designed to run efficiently on cost-effective 8-bit microprocessors. SNAP has a very small memory footprint of only 40KB, thereby leaving more space for user applications. The SNAP protocol can support up to 16 million nodes in a single network. Since these are full mesh networks, there is no single point of failure: any node can talk directly to any other node that is in range and any node can talk indirectly to any other node via intermediate nodes. SNAP based networks are self-forming, instant-on, and self-healing. Users can interactively develop applications using a high-level English-like language called Python. No embedded programming experience is required.
