OBJECTIVE > 90% ENERGY SAVINGS

Hold this thought: Buildings represent about 30% of global energy use and therefore, smart buildings are a key

part of the sustainable energy future. Smart LED lighting alone can save 80% of energy for lighting. The energy efficiency

potential. from smart HVAC and window coverings is even bigger. Integrated performance management of these systems can

optimize energy savings by 90%.

» The market offers many single-purpose smart building

systems resulting in many different system layers

» Platform integration is too complex as long as IoT applications

operate on different system layers. Configuration is time-consuming

if devices each have their own IP address

» Non-secure IoT platforms with multiple system layers result in

costly,time-consuming installation, and high maintenance and operational costs - IoT business cases are held captive

...demonstrating the need for non-hierarchical full-mesh networks

» Mesh networks scale effortlessly as they can run many different smart

building applications (multi-pupose) within one network

» Platform integration is easy. Devices and applications can be deployed

locally and directly in the network or via a cloud-based back office: simply

address and assign devices a job and group and they are operational (no

need for IP addresses)

» Operation of multiple systems within one network results in simple

installation, simple maintenance and therefore low operational costs

enabling scalable and viable IoT business cases

... but the promise of IoT in Smart Buildings is held captive byplatform

integration challenges

Heterarchical organism with collective intelligence, implies simple integration and endless scalability

What should you look for?The requirements for an BIoT platform (Building Internet of Things)

SECURITY Is the network secure by design?

2015 was “The Year of the Cyber Attack”. Cyber Security should be a concern

for any user or owner of connected devices. Adding network connectivity to

any “thing” can certainly provide great value but also brings with it potential

risks.

SCALABILITYHow scalable is it and is that scalable enough for the

business case of my green building? What determines

scalability?

Depending on your business case/ use case you would want to scale up simple

and easy - with as little reconfiguration, extra interfaces, gateways, routers as

possible.

RESILIENCEHow resilient is the network? Does it have self-organizing/

self healing qualities? Are there single point of failures?

(number of master/ slave relations in the network?)

The level of resilience impacts your down-time, maintenance costs, operational

costs and the end-user experience.

MOBILITYHow easy can moving assets and people be tracked and

traced? And with what accuracy?

Buildings are highly dynamic environments. Assets and people move

everywhere all the time. Can your IoT platform handle that (most can't -> IP

based)

ADDRESSABILITYHow many nodes (smart assets) can be addressed in 1

group? (e.g. Can lights can be a part of more than one

light scene)

The addressability impacts the scalability but also the simplicity of

commissioning and the flexible application of nodes to fit one or more

purposes.

INTEGRATED

COMMUNICATIONCan nodes also communicate with eachother? (Can sensors

and actuators exchange real time set-points and states? )

If nodes can both publish and subscribe to messages, the network becomes

highly agile (easy to commission/ flexible)

INDEPENDENCY

Does the network depend on the cloud/third party

providers? Or can it operate as an abstact, autonomous

network? How much control do you have over the

ownership of the data/ network?

The level of independency impacts the security and operational costs.

Depending on the infrastructure (back office in the cloud?) and the business

model of your solution provider you will have more or less control over your

data, the network and its costs.

RADIO FREQUENCY +

STRENGTHOn what frequency does the protocol operate? And at what

strength (mWatts)? What are the duty cycles?

It can get crowded at certain frequency. Can the protocol operate on other

frequencies, and what are the parameters that influence its reliability and its

distortion rate?

OVER-THE-AIR VERSION

UPDATES

How easy can devices be updated. In case of a system

update, would you need to update devices manualy? Or

does the network allow for OTA updates?

Depending on the amount of nodes and updates an OTA update feature can

have a huge impact on operational costs and down time. Imagine having to

manually update all devices?

What should you be asking? Why is this important?

Current situation

• >100 network protocols (wired &

wireless) for Building Automation

• Scalability + integration is realized

through hubs, modems, interfaces

and what not

• Result = COMPLEX + RIGID SYSTEM

- Buildings can’t adapt to changing

environment or purpose

- High operational costs

www.chess-wise.eu

IDEAL SITUATION

What if:

• There is ONE network that operates

as an integrated platform for all

building systems

• No hubs, gateways, routers,

interfaces, modems are necessary to

scale

• There is no (re) cabling resulting in

an extremely flexible installation

MyriaMesh Story

The MyriaMesh protocol has been inspired

by nature itself.

Nature shows us beautiful examples of self-

organized systems of cells, all contributing

equally to an organism as a whole. Organic

systems grow in size and behavior, simply by

adding a cell which automatically becomes a

supporting part of the system. This intelligent

design makes an organism ultra-scalable,

resilient and robust and it has no single

point of failure.

This became the starting point for the

development of MyriaMesh, a full mesh

network in which all nodes are equal and

each node contributes to an ever more

powerful network. Like birds in a flock or fish

in shoals.

www.chess-wise.eu

MyriaMesh Technology

• MyriaMesh is a wireless connectivity protocol, developed by Chess Wise, that enables

+10.000 Things (assets, devices) to self-organize the best way to communicate with each

other.

• …enables simple integration and deployment of devices and applications

• …is a mesh network: heterarchical topology and ultra-scalable to over 10.000 nodes in

one network

• ….is ultra-resilient: self-organzing + self- healing

• …is secure by design

• …is radio agnostic (supports short + long range)

• …has low operational cost

• …delivers over-the-air version updates

BLEMESH**

SECURITYstrong encryption and authentication (Aes CCM)

protects the network traffic from eavesdropping

and tampering. Each node has a unique id,

allowing it to obtain authenticated updates.Chess

wise uses Hardware security Modules (HsM), similar

to those used in the banking industry. This provides

optimal protection of all product keys, both public

and private, with a 128 bit AES encryption standard.

SCALABILITY

Contrary to iP based, hierarchical networks,

MyriaMesh is heterarchical and scalable to more

than 10,000 different devices, allowing one network

to control ‘everything’ for seamless platform

integration.

RESILIENCY

The network’s collective intelligence deploys and

restores (new) nodes automatically. in short:

MyriaMesh is self-organizing and self- healing and

has no single point of failure.

MOBILITYContrary to IP based connectivity platforms, MyriaMesh

allows for

mobility of naodes for example to support track & trace

applications.

?

ADDRESSABILITY

MyriaMesh can address 65k nodes in 1 group. All

nodes are equally able to reach peers, groups or all

nodes. One device can be a member of 8 groups

simultaneously.

PUBLISH &SUBSCRIBE

CONTROLLAYER

MyriaMesh’s universal network language enables

sensors and actuators to exchange real time set-

points and states (e.g turn light at 70% during

daylight-state) that allows for simple (re)configuration.

?

INDEPENDENCY

A MyiaMesh network can operate independently.

Its nodes have a collective intelligence that -

together- manage the network’s individual

applications. Connection to complementary cloud

(management) applications is simple but optional.

OVER-THE-AIRVERSION

UPDATES

MyriaMesh is radio agnostic. its protocol operates

on short range (smart building) as well as long

range frequencies (smart city/ outdoor).?
