Synapse is shipping its next-generation wireless network products, the Synapse Pro, for low-cost, high performance wireless communications. These new products provide users with instant-on wireless mesh networks. Users also have the ability to add their own intelligence to wireless nodes without embedded programming skills, according to Synapse. Much like modern spreadsheets, Synapse Pro technology just works... reliably, efficiently, and most importantly transparently, said the supplier. It isn’t necessary to create complex programs or compile abstract code – users simply decide how they want the system to behave and instruct each node as if they were typing instructions into the cell of a spreadsheet, stated Synapse.

The Synapse Pro product line comprises the SNAP Pro software stack, Synapse RF Engine modules, a variety of physical wireless SNAP nodes, and the Portal Pro wireless application development and network administration environment. Also, added Synpase, the small memory footprint of the SNAP Pro software stack leaves lots of room for user applications. The combination of SNAP Pro running on a Synapse RF Engine module provides an instant-on wireless mesh network node with an exceptional 3-mile maximum range, said the maker.

SNAP Pro-based networks are self-forming, which means that the network establishes itself – when a new node is powered up, it is automatically integrated into the network. These networks are also self-healing – if a node catastrophically fails for any reason, other nodes automatically route signals around the failed node.

As part of this announcement, Synapse is offering its Synapse Network Evaluation Kit – the EK2500 – to allow potential customers and OEMs to evaluate the capabilities of the Synapse Pro product line. This evaluation kit includes a four-node license for Portal Pro, one SNAP Node Bridge, one SNAP Node End Device, and one SNAP Node ProtoBoard (each node is equipped with a Synapse RF Engine preloaded with SNAP Pro and demonstration application scripts).

The complete line of Synapse Pro products are available now. The Synapse Network Evaluation Kit (EK2500) is priced at $995.00.
