System Architecture

SenzaWMS Software Suite

Provides network, device, and data

management

Can run as standalone system orserver application

SenzaNET Mesh Network

SenzaGate

SenzaCoordinator provides serial

connectivity, time synchronizationfunction, channel hopping sequence

SenzaGate can perform all the

functions of SenzaCoordinator, and

additionally provides multiple

fieldbus interface options


Self-organizing andself-healing

Low latency devicesupport

Strong encryptionand authentication

Up to 255 nodes

per SenzaGate, upto 65.000 nodesper network

SenzaBlock Node

Can operate as leaf nodeor router

Routers can sleep toconserve energy

Routers store-and-forward data for reliabledelivery

Example disruption due to interference

Example of actual mesh data flow

complexity (reduced learning curve)

SenzaStack is in essence aWirelessHART lite implementationwith industrial-grade reliability

Customers can deploy SenzaNET now,

and migrate to the latest meshtechnology via simple firmwareupgrade, as it becomes available


8/16

WirelessHART is a subset of HART7 Specifications & is available foruse in products developed by HART Communication Foundation (HCF)

Released by HCF in late 2007, and subsequently ratified as IEC/PAS

62591 by the IEC Test specifications are somewhat lagging manual certification of

devices possible, automated device certification expected in mid-2009 and gateway tools by year end.

WirelessHART Overview and Status

WirelessHART is based on TSMP, a time synchronized mesh protocoloriginally developed by Dust Networks

Not surprisingly, WirelessHART has strong backing from major fielddevice makers, most notably Emerson Process, Siemens, ABB & others

Many other vendors already have or are preparing launch of products

E-Senza is committed to WirelessHART, and in the process of releasinga stack, OEM module, network access point, and gateway

Functional prototypes available today

Release to manufacturing scheduled for Q3/2009

WirelessHART Migration

Attribute SN100 (SenzaStack) SNH7 (WirelessHART)

Frequency band 2,4 GHz or 868/915 MHz 2,4 GHz

Frequency diversity (channel hopping) Slow (100 msec slots) Fast (10 msec slots)

SenzaStack and WirelessHART share many key system/mesh characteristics,thus preserving the user experience and enabling painless transitions

From a hardware perspective (2.4 GHz operation), WirelessHART imposes no

new requirements other than higher RF output power


Path diversity No Yes

Acknowledgements and retries Yes Yes

Network reliability (typical) >99.9% >99.9%

Deterministic network latency Yes Yes

Time synchronization Yes (2 msec) Yes (1 msec)

Sleeping routers Yes Yes

Mesh formation Fast (seconds) Slow (minutes)

Stack size 23 kByte ~90 kByte

Security 128-bit AES encryption 128-bit AES encryption

Inhouse

wnership

Technology LicensingYou have hardware and firmware capabilities

and prefer keeping development inhouse

We license our stack and IP to you to jumpstart

your inhouse development effort

Porting and IntegrationYou prefer developing and manufacturing your

own hardware

We integrate/port our embedded

software to your hardware platform

of choice

Partner/OEM Collaboration Options Matrix

QuickPath Program Supplier/Licensing Agreement

Outsourced Development

You do not wish to reinvent the wheel, dont

have the resources available, or it just doesnt

make sense for your resources to become

wireless experts

We take care of everything hardware,software, integration, and testing

OEM Hardware Sourcing

You have your own ideas about the embedded

software, but you like our hardware as is and

see no point in developing your own

We provide you with wireless modules and/or

infrastructure OEM boards
