What are PeakNet Z and PeakNet LPR?
PeakNet Z and PeakNet LPR are two types of communication software provided by GreenPeak. Both communication stacks provide the same API to the user which means an application can be easily swapped between the two stacks.
PeakNet Z is a typical ZigBee network, which consists of a central coordinator, (optionally) routers to build the mesh network and sleeping end-devices. However, like in ZigBee, PeakNet Z routers need to be continuously on (Radio and microcontroller on) which means they cannot be battery powered.
PeakNet LPR, the second communication stack available for the CM09, enables you to have battery-powered routers in a sensor network while guaranteeing a battery lifetime of multiple years. This patented software stack enables the routers to periodically enter a low-power sleep mode to preserve the battery. Periodically, all routers wake up to send/receive data.
