5. Long-life Achieving long-life performance without fixed power and communications infrastructure is a challenge faced in many monitoring applications. The solution developed by Senceive typically uses solar panels to power a cellular communications gateway and battery powered sensors that are optimised to operate for up to 15 years. This means that remote assets can be managed based on precise, reliable data without frequent site visits.
Getting to this point has not been easy. The journey started in 2005 with the first field deployments of what has evolved into the Senceive FlatMesh™ solution, which is built on a non-hierarchical, self-organising mesh architecture. The firmware installed on each wireless node enables a network of nodes to communicate efficiently thanks to a flat structure,
whereby each node communicates with its neighbours on an equal status basis, without hierarchy and without the need for any specialised router or concentrator nodes. This enables simple quick installation, and robust, self-organising operation.
