Figure 1-4. ēKo Pro series system overview
ēKo’s radio mesh network is based on ACEINNA’s proprietary XMesh technology. The nodes
extend their radio range by hopping messages. All ēKo nodes can originate sensor data and also
forward data from other ēKo nodes. ēKo nodes without sensors can be placed anywhere to act as
repeaters if required. Each node monitors the radio traffic in its neighborhood and keeps track of
possible alternate radio paths. If one path is blocked or degrades it will switch to an alternate
path.
The ēKo gateway stores and forwards (optional) data from the sensor network. The ēKoView
web service allows users to remotely view sensor data via the internet and monitor the network.
The gateway will connect to any standard Ethernet hub or router.
