MicroStrain Releases Groundbreaking New Lossless Extended Range Synchronized (LXRS™) Wireless Sensor Networks

                   

MicroStrain's new "lossless" wireless communication protocol (patent pending) supports scalable networks of high speed sensor nodes without data loss due to temporary radio frequency (RF) fading, multipath, or interference.  

 

MicroStrain's users have previously enjoyed a typical RF packet success rate of 99% - not bad.  But now, with MicroStrain's new LXRS "lossless" protocol, wireless sensor networks can deliver 100% reliable data throughput under most operating conditions.

  

Our new LXRS™ Wireless Sensing System (microstrain.com/what-is-LXRS?) includes:

  • Lossless wireless communication protocol providing 100% packet success rate under most operating conditions
  • Extended Range radio link to 2 kilometers
  • Scalable wireless sensor networks supporting continuous, burst, and hybrid sampling modes
  • Time Synchronized to +/- 32 microseconds

The LXRS™ Wireless Sensing System works by leveraging an advanced bi-directional radio communication protocol.  When data are received without errors by the WSDA base station, the WSDA sends an acknowledgement that these packets were received.  Data that are not acknowledged remain within each LXRS sensor node's non-volatile memory for scheduled re-transmission without reducing the overall system bandwidth.
