2. Product Description
The PE IoT Engine is a Sub 1-GHz IPv6/6LoWPAN hardware radio communication module, as shown in Figure 1 below.
The PE IoT Engine is used to build interoperable, fully customized solutions and applications for the Internet of Things
(IoT) and Smart Cities. As a communications module, the PE IoT Engine is responsible for handling all network-layer
events such as joining the 6LoWPAN mesh network, sending and receiving data, and encrypting the data sent over the
network. In order to utilize the capabilities of the PE IoT Engine in an IoT or Smart City application, the PE IoT Engine
must be integrated into a 3
rd
party application board including any external sensors (or actuators) necessary for the
application.

PE Smart Urban Network is Paradox Engineering’s flagship platform to enable true Smart City applications, which gives
city managers the ability to have bi-directional communication (allowing both remote sensing and remote control) to
IoT devices deployed in a city environment and constructing their own private IPv6 wireless network.
An example of some of the many Smart City use cases which can be realized using the PE technologies, including the PE
IoT Engine, is shown Figure 2, located below.
