3. Architecture

The PE IoT Engine is a communication module that allows custom, 3

party IoT applications to have full access to a

private, encrypted, self-configuring, self-healing, IPv6/6LoWPAN, wireless mesh network which can easily be deployed

in city and urban environments.

One of the core objectives of the PE IoT Engine is to provide hardware engineers a single module that abstracts the

networking, mesh topology, IPv6 stack, and Sub 1-GHz radio protocols. Engineers have a versatile data modeling API

with the embedded LwM2M engine. The PE IoT Engine supports multiple interfaces such as UART, USB, I2C, Serial, and

GPIO to allow external devices to leverage the PE IoT Engine as a network communications module.

PE IoT Engine consists of a single electronic printed circuit board (PCB) that includes the following:

• Microcontroller unit (MCU) and flash memory

• RF transceiver (sub 1-GHz radio) with UFL connector for external antenna (Note: UFL antenna is not provided)

• Micro USB 2.0 connector

• External connectors (located on the bottom side) for interfacing with 3rd-party boards

The electronic PCB and the physical connectors for PE IoT Engine are pictured in Figure 3 below.
