Is there support for 802.15.4 MAC layer at 868MHz?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SIMPLICITI

Hi,

We want a radio that can support the 802.15.4 MAC layer at 868MHz.

We've been looking at the CC1110 as this looks like it ought to have the hardware to do the trick, at least for 802.15.4g. However, it lacks suitable firmware.

The CC1180 with the Sensinode 6LoWPAN stack (NanoStack 2.0 lite), appears to have the MAC layer we'd like. Implying that such a beast is possible and exists. However, the firmware also includes a stripped down 6LoWPAN stack on top of the MAC layer and it is locked down and not flexible enough for our needs. We'd like to have the CC1110/CC1180 running just the MAC layer and run the rest of the stack on the MCU.

Are there any plans to support this scenario? Or is it already supported?

Thanks,

Robbie.

Hi Robbie,

You are correct in that the CC1110 can support the mandatory mode of IEEE802.15.4g

Unfortunately it is not possible to separate the MAC layer from the rest of the stack on the CC1180. The CC1180 can only be loaded with the Sensinode Nanostack 2.0 Lite.

My suggestion is that you contact Sensinode and see if they can supply something that would fit your needs.

As we see a lot of interest in similar solutions as yours, we are also working on defining our roadmap moving forward. I will keep you posted!

Cheers,

Jonas

Hi Jonas,

What stacks are available for the CC1110 today? Just SimpliciTI? Anything else?

Cheers,
Damon.

You are correct, SimpliciTI is the only available TI stack for CC1110.

Hi Jonas,

any update on this "As we see a lot of interest in similar solutions as yours, we are also working on defining our roadmap moving forward. I will keep you posted!".

even i am looking zigbee solution for 868MHz band.
