Metering International

September 2010 - From a different perspective: the Technologies behind Smart Metering Networks

"Matching and often surpassing the technical capabilities of routing-based wireless solutions, wireless mesh networks based on synchronized flooding often have a lower cost of ownership, do not assume data ownership, but rather entrust it to the provider, and allow for far simpler meter deployments - without requiring additional in-field IT personnel or the retraining of those already trained to install the meters."

May 2010 - Semtech and Virtual Extension team to bring new generation of Wireless Mesh Networks to Smart Lighting applications

"Semtech Corp., a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, and Virtual Extension, a leading mesh wireless sensor network provider, recently announced a two-chip wireless mesh network chipset that brings a new level of performance and signal robustness to smart lighting applications."

Industrial Ethernet Book

April 2010 - New routing improves Wireless Mesh Network performance

"Diversity Path Mesh is probably the first mesh wireless network to use the flooding technique instead of standard routing; synchronized flooding produces a surprising performance benefit over and above the positive benefits of flooding propagation."

Sensors

February 2010 - Compatibility of Diversity Path Mesh to the IP networks' environment

"Users of Virtual Extension's VEmesh products are now able to enjoy both worlds: the ubiquitous TCP/IP protocol for back-office and the Diversity Path Mesh de-facto standard for high performance Mesh Wireless Networks for the communication with the smart meters or networks."

Industrial Embedded Systems

July 2009 - Mesh wireless sensor networks: Choosing the appropriate technology

"While most network approaches use routing as the basic architecture, new flooding-based technology offers distinct advantages, especially when it comes to larger networks. In networks with a large number of nodes and hops, especially where robustness and reliability are important, synchronized flooding technology provides a more suitable solution. Typical applications with these larger node counts are smart metering and highway illumination."

April 2008 – How to Improve the Performance of a Mesh Wireless Sensor Network

"Diversity Path Mesh is probably the first mesh wireless network to use the flooding technique instead of routing, as it has managed to overcome any disadvantages of flooding by using the synchronized flooding, resulting in a surprisingly and revolutionary set of performances. At the same time, it encompasses all the benefits of the flooding technique."

Automated Buildings

April 2008 - Next-Generation Mobility Feature in Wireless Mesh Networks

"Mobility - a unique capability enables the users to move or relocate the network coordinator (or the coordinators – if there are more than one), the gateway or the nodes anywhere within the propagation range of the cell, with no need to make any changes, no re-programming or re-setting, and hence no corresponding delays and no down-time."
