MicroStrain’s new “lossless” wireless communication protocol supports scalable networks of high speed sensor nodes without data loss due to temporary radio frequency (RF) fading, multipath, or interference. This enables highly reliable data collection from scalable networks of wireless strain, acceleration, torque, force, and temperature to be collected without loss of information. This is particularly useful when working in harsh operating environments, when the system may be subject to periodic RF interference, or when the experiment is very difficult to set-up or very expensive to replicate.
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.
