Core IoT Platform
Synapse's core competency is wireless networking. Our patented wireless MESH technology is Synapse Networking Application Platform (SNAP), which scales to thousands of nodes per network (5x that of standard Zigbee). With a Python and C-level application architecture, SNAP can be deployed in a wide range of applications. There are millions of SNAP nodes in operation today.
Low Power. Long Range.
Synapse's core competency is wireless networking. Our patented wireless MESH technology is Synapse Networking Application Platform (SNAP), which scales to thousands of nodes per network (5x that of standard Zigbee). With a Python and C-level application architecture, SNAP can be deployed in a wide range of applications. There are millions of SNAP nodes in operation today.
- Uses proprietary IEEE 802.15.4 @ 2.4GHz
- Nodes automatically create a full mesh, self-healing network
- Single gateway can manage up to 1,000 devices
- Range up to 1,000 ft for internal, 3,000 for external
- SNAP communication is 100% local
- 128-bit AES Encryption
First, connect the end-to-end devices in the edge network to each other and the edge gateways. This is where you make your technology decision. SNAP products include SNAPcore and SNAPmesh running on modules, E20 and E12 gateways, and SNAPconnect custom programs.
The next step is to DEVELOP the intended application on top of the connected infrastructure. This gives each device purpose by distributing intelligence across the edge network.
- SNAPpy scripts running on modules
- SNAPconnect custom programs
Once the application is complete, specialty tools are required to DEPLOY the solution into the final environment (at scale and without needing experts at every step).
- Custom SNAPconnect-based programs and tools
Where SNAP fits in the Internet of Things (IoT):
- Remote Management Layer: Software to help interface SNAP to the IoT platform
- Gateway Layer: SNAP Connect
- Node & Network Layer: SNAP Core, Toolbelt
