Introduction
This design guide is intended to provide a good understanding of the functionality of the OEM100 or
OEM1000 module. The intended audience is the engineer responsible for integrating the OEM module into a
product.
Description and Specifications
The OEM100 or OEM1000 is a component of the Sensicast H900 Wireless Sensor Network Platform – a
completely self-configuring, self-healing, power managed sensor network.
Powered by SensiNet, Sensicast’s proprietary mesh networking software, the OEM100/OEM1000 is the most
reliable mesh networking radio module on the market today. It has a range of over 1000 feet (outdoors) (1
mile OEM1000) and 300 feet (indoors, non-line of site) (1000 feet OEM1000). Furthermore, SensiNet uses
frequency diverse radio algorithms to ensue reliable, clear channel communication even in the most harsh radio
environments.
In addition, off-the-shelf H900 infrastructure hardware and software for constructing and maintaining your
mesh network is available from Sensicast.
Block diagram
Antenna
There is a board mounted antenna on the device. For best performance, care should be taken to keep metal
components away from the antenna.
Radio Transceiver
The radio is under control of the OEM100/OEM1000’s microcontroller and is contained inside the metal
shield.
Microcontroller
The SensiNet software, including the sensor API, runs on this microcontroller. It includes onboard flash
memory, RAM, and analog and digital I/O and a 32Khz real time clock.
LEDs
There are three LEDS: red, yellow and green that are firmware controlled.
