Introducing the G-Node

The SOWNet G-Node G301 Wireless Sensor Node, or G-Node in short, is a new Wireless Sensor Network development platform based on L-Nodes technology developed by SOWNet Technologies in collaboration with the Technical University of Delft. 

Top features

• USB reprogramming

• Supports TinyOS 2.1

• Getting started DVD kit with all required tools in one package

Microcontroller

The Texas Instruments MSP430F2418 microcontroller supplies all the processing power and memory you need for your Wireless Sensor Network applications.

• 116 KB ROM

• 8 KB RAM

• 8 Mbit external flash memory
  

• 16 MHz top speed

Radio

A versatile CC1101 radio chip from Texas Instruments allows the G-Node to shine in dense multi-hop deployments. This makes it possible to do large scale experiments in limited physical space.

• Packet radio with receiver sensitivity down to -112dBm

• Variable data rates from 0.8kbps up to 500kbps supported

• Variable transmission power from -30dBm up to +10dBm

• Antenna with decent range on-board

Interfacing

Finally, it is easy to interface the G-Node with existing sensors and other equipment having several different interfacing options available.

• 8 I/O pins for external connectivity

• SPI/I2C, UART, interrupt and ADC functions available

• 3V power supply up to 70mA strong can power most sensors
