s-net® - mesh connectivity for IoT

The s-net® networking technology is a technology developed by Fraunhofer IIS for extremely energy-saving, wireless networking and localization of objects and people. In recent years, it has formed the basis for cyber-physical systems (CPS) and IoT applications in more and more projects. In cyber-physical systems, the context-aware objects can use the s-net® networking technology to capture and transmit their application and environmental situation, interactively influence it and selectively control their behavior depending on the situation. The integration of context-aware, networked objects paves the way for a continuous digitalization of process control and thus for the IoT.

The s-net® technology

s-net® creates the foundation for wireless networking and localization of people and objects. With extremely low power consumption and bi-directional multi-hop communication, s-net® offers the best conditions for IoT applications. As a Low Throughput Network (LTN), s-net® allows high localization accuracy and decentralized decision logic even with limited bandwidth.

Applications and projects with s-net®

In recent years, a large number of analysis-, monitoring- and control-applications in the field of the Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) have been implemented based on the s-net® networking technology. Especially in this area, the s-net® technology opens enormous potential for numerous innovative applications such as:

  • comprehensive sensory monitoring and consumption value recording (Smart Metering)
  • complete findability of objects (Smart Tracking)
  • control of assembly objects and support systems for mechanics (Smart Production)
  • networking of objects (IoT) such as containers and compartment displays (Smart Commissioning)
