NeoCortec's customers now have a wide choice on how they want to use and receive the ultra-low-power NeoMesh bi-directional wireless mesh networking protocol stack from NeoCortec. NeoMesh is now offered in four different ways:
The company's ultra-low power and ultimately scalable Wireless Mesh Networking Protocol NeoMesh is available for 2.4GHz and sub-1GHz frequency bands in a series of pre-approved modules manufactured by it. The modules are ideal for a wide range of applications, cost-efficient and easy to integrate into the target product. The modules share the same footprint, which means there is no requirement to change the target product to support that full range of frequency bands.
At Embedded World 2025, the company, together with its wireless module partner Embit, launched a dual-band (subGHz/2.4GHz), embedded LoRa-enabled NeoMesh wireless network module and LoRaWAN stack. After the first demonstration of the ability to form a NeoMesh wireless network using LoRa modulation on a 2.4GHz wireless network module at electronica 2024, this new dual-band module allows the usage of the new technology in many more applications and delivers improved flexibility to customers. The combination of its simple and massive scalability and low power with Semtech's LoRa modulation's proven ability to perform well with a very long range in noisy environments, e.g. in buildings where there is lots of additional radio noise such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, greatly improves the value proposition of the two leading wireless technologies.
The company also provides customers with the ability to license its NeoMesh wireless mesh networking protocol and software stack. With the licensing model, customers can implement the NeoMesh software in their designs to gain the advantages of it in their specific applications. The company supplies comprehensive technical support to assist customers with the implementation of its software. The wireless mesh networking protocol and software stack supports many different sensor types and applications and a broad range of chipsets, including those from Texas Instruments, Nordic Semiconductor, Silicon Labs, STMicroelectronics and Semtech.
Last but not least, three NeoMesh Click boards (which operate at 868MHz, 915MHz and 2.4 GHz) can be sourced through MikroE to speed the development of ultra-low power, massively scalable IoT and cloud-based sensor networks. The Click boards eradicate the necessity for engineers to create any development PCB hardware themselves, allowing them to initiate Proof-of-Concept testing of the NeoMesh network protocol stack in a real application quickly and at minimal cost. A very wide range of applications can be addressed, including smart building and smart workplace, metering, security, agriculture, transportation, industry 4.0, medical and food distribution.
