 ID Tech show, so who are you? I'm Bill Lindsay, I'm a factory applications engineer for Dust Networks for linear technology. What is Dust Networks? Dust Networks is a low power wireless mesh network for distributed sensing applications. So this is a mesh right here? Yeah, so each of these nodes has a radio. These devices are communicating to one another over the air with their radios and they're time synchronized to each other. They slave their clocks together and as a result you can see they know how to turn on and off their LEDs at exactly the same time because they're time synchronized. How can they synchronize at a time? Do they have a clock in there or something? They each have an oscillator that every time a child sends a packet to a parent, the parent gives him an acknowledgement with a correction for his oscillator. So the clocks all drift together and remain synchronized over years. And they keep synchronizing all the time? That's correct and so now the devices that are repeaters or routers are still off most of the time and so you can still get multiple years of battery life. In fact, the LED itself burns 400 times more what the radio burns because the radio is usually off. Right now they're on battery, right? That's correct. So you charge them at the office or at the hotel? I replace the batteries about once every month or so. Every month, yeah. And they just think for months What are you showing here? We have some third party partners that make more productized units for our customers that don't want to have to make a product because the products that we sell are really these chips and boards and you have to actually integrate that into a product. But if you'd rather buy something more off the shelf, we're showing partner products that... So what's the LTC 5800? So that's our core chip that has a radio and a microcontroller inside. Is it an ARM Cortex-ME something? M3, yes, very good. And these boards are just RF certified boards. So if you don't want to pay the FCC for RF certifications, these are already modularly certified. So what kind of RF can you do? 802.15.4, same as ZigBee. ZigBee. It's a similar radio as ZigBee. It's a 2.4 gigahertz radio. And so Dustin Networks has over 50,000 networks deployed in more than 120 countries. What do you mean by 50,000 networks? So we have many customers that are in large scale production who deploy networks all over the world. Our biggest market is industrial sensing. So like farms or...? No, like refineries and gas processing plants and oil wells and factories and things like that. So what do they sense, all these...? Any kind of important process variable, temperature, tank level, flow, valve open-close status. Any kind of industrial sensor that has a human readable gauge. Now more and more you're seeing those sensors have an antenna coming out of it and that data is being sent over the air so that the owners of these facilities can make smarter decisions about how to run their facility. And the dust is part of Linear? Linear Tech purchased dust networks five years ago. Dust Networks was a startup out of Berkeley for about 12 years now, but Linear purchased dust five years ago. And Linear is a big company making chips? Making analog ICs, analog integrated circuits for power management mostly. So they saw opportunity to work with you on making the IoT world, right? Yes, because some of their best in class chips are for energy harvesting. And so... One of those? So this board is driving a moat via solar or thermoelectric energy harvesting. Nice. Is that e-ink? That's an e-ink display that shows the status of things. That's cool. All right, so IoT is huge already for you but it's gonna be even bigger. That's correct. The high-end industrial sensing is the place where we've had the most adoption we expect that to come down to a broader range of applications.
