The M2x40 is tailored for use in battery- and line-powered wireless devices for applications that demand proven performance and
scalability. The innovative radio design in the M2x40 operates in the global license-free 2.4 GHz band, with 80% less receiver current than
comparable radios in the market. The combination of extremely high reliability and low power consumption enables applications that
require very low installation cost for low-maintenance, long-term deployments. The M2x40 provides all the functionalities of a mote in an
easy-to-integrate Mote-on-Chip™ (MoC). The multi-functional interface of the M2x40 gives it the flexibility to be used in a wide variety
of applications, from industrial process monitoring to building control to machine health monitoring. The M2x40 requires no embedded
programming, enabling OEMs to reduce the development time and cost for wireless sensor networking solutions.

About SmartMesh®
Dust Networks SmartMesh
®
products combine robust networking capabilities with TSMP, pioneered by Dust Networks, and standards-
based motes to provide proven wireless sensor networking systems. SmartMesh
®
systems achieve high network reliability in the face of
unpredictable or harsh RF environments, utilize frequency hopping for interference rejection and have a typical battery life of 5-10 years.
Each node in a SmartMesh-based network is a router, offering mesh-to-the-edge™ advantage for easy network integration, installation and
maintenance. With a flexible platform and predictable network performance, OEMs can wirelessly enable a whole host of solutions for
their industrial automation, building automation and defense markets.
