Requirement What should you be asking as an OEM? Why is this important?

SECURE Is the network secure by design?

2015 was “The Year of the Cyber Attack”. 2016 wasn’t any less

confronting. Cyber Security should be a concern for any user or owner of

connected devices. Adding network connectivity to any “thing” can

certainly provide great value but also brings with it potential risks.

SCALABLEHow scalable is it and is that scalable enough? What determines

scalability?

Depending on your business case/ use case you would want to scale up

and integrate new devices simple and easy - with as little

reconfiguration, extra interfaces, gateways, routers as possible.

RESILIENTHow resilient is the network? Does it have self-organizing/ self

healing qualities? Are there single point of failures? (number of

master/ slave relations in the network?)

The level of resilience impacts your down-time, maintenance costs,

operational costs and the end-user experience.

MOBILEHow easy can moving assets and people be tracked and traced?

And with what accuracy? And how important is this to you now

and in the future?

Buildings are highly dynamic environments. Assets and people move

everywhere all the time. Can your IoT platform handle that (most can't -

> IP based)

ADDRESSABILITYHow many nodes (smart assets) can be addressed in 1 group?

(e.g. Can lights can be a part of more than one light scene)

The addressability impacts the scalability but also the simplicity of

commissioning and the flexible application of nodes to fit one or more

purposes.INTEGRATED

(publish +

subscribe)

Can nodes also communicate with each other? (Can sensors and

actuators exchange real time set-points and states? )

If nodes can both publish and subscribe to messages, the network

becomes highly agile (easy to commission/ flexible)

INDEPENDENTDoes the network depend on the cloud/third party providers? Or

can it operate as self-operating network? How much control do

you have over the ownership of the data/ network?

The level of independency impacts the security and operational costs.

Depending on the infrastructure (back office in the cloud?) and the

business model of your solution provider you will have more or less

control over your data, the network and its costs.

RADIO AGNOSTICOn what frequency does the protocol operate? And at what

strength (mWatts)? What are the duty cycles?

It can get crowded at certain frequency. Can the protocol operate on

other frequencies, and what are the parameters that influence its

reliability and its distortion rate?

OVER-THE-AIR

VERSION UPDATES

How easy can devices be updated. In case of a system update,

would you need to update devices manualy? Or does the network

allow for OTA updates?

Depending on the amount of nodes and updates an OTA update feature

can have a huge impact on operational costs and down time. Imagine

having to manually update all devices?

SECURITY

Strong encryption and authentication (Aes CCM) protects the

network traffic from eavesdropping and tampering. Each node

has a unique id, allowing it to obtain authenticated

updates.Chess Wise uses Hardware security Modules (HsM),

similar to those used in the banking industry. This provides

optimal protection of all product keys, both public and private,

with a 128 bit AES encryption standard.

SCALABILITY

Contrary to iP based, hierarchical networks, MyriaMesh is

heterarchical and scalable to more than 10,000 different

devices, allowing one network to control ‘everything’ for

seamless platform integration.

RESILIENCY

The network’s collective intelligence deploys and restores (new)

nodes automatically. in short: MyriaMesh is self-organizing and

self- healing and has no single point of failure.

MOBILITY

Contrary to IP based connectivity platforms, MyriaMesh allows for

easy tracking of mobile of nodes for example to support track &

trace applications.?

ADDRESSABILITY

MyriaMesh can address 65k nodes in 1 group. All nodes are

equally able to reach peers, groups or all nodes. One device

can be a member of 8 groups simultaneously.

CONTROLLAYER

MyriaMesh’s universal network language enables sensors and

actuators to exchange real time set-points and states (e.g turn

light at 70% during daylight-state) that allows for simple

(re)configuration.

?

INDEPENDENCY

A MyiaMesh network can operate independently. Its nodes

have a collective intelligence that -together- manage the

network’s individual applications. Connection to

complementary cloud (management) applications is simple

but optional.

VERSION

UPDATES

MyriaMesh is radio agnostic. Its protocol operates on short

range (smart building) as well as long range frequencies

(smart city/ outdoor).
