TECHNOLOGY SET: FPGA Firmware on Cyclon V MCU RF on Software Defined Radio device Linux OS on arm Network via PLC Additional IoT by LORA for consumer purposes CLIENT BACKGROUND: The customer provides disruptive smart city solutions for high-rise and large scale buildings. By applying new technologies and methods to long-established markets, the company not only enables property owners to meet new occupancy regulations but also provides ongoing support and expertise to ensure continued compliance. BUSINESS CHALLENGE: Create the design of Low Power Active Distributed Antenna Network. SOLUTION: The system is a solution that is “Active-to-the-Antenna” enabling two-hour survivability, supervision, and ease of engineering and installation at a lower cost than other solutions. Additionally, it provides an IoT wireless network by LoRa to cover an entire building for consumer purposes. Hardware/Software DSP algorithms written in Verilog/VHDL on FPGA Cyclon V-chip provides immediate voice transmission from node-to-node by RF without delays. The RF-module designed based on LMS6002 Software Defined Radio covers the 150-900 Mhz spectrum and is able to detect any antenna damage that, along with other required health information, is reported to the Master unit (see “AUXILIARY IN-BUILDING RADIO SYSTEM WITH DEDICATED RADIO CONSOLE”) and the AWS Cloud from which a supervisor can receive mail/SMS in order to quickly fix a breakdown. A network stack developed based on PLC technology allows for a two-hour rated, fire-proofed cable without any length restrictions, like a typical ethernet cable. LORA is used for coverage, in order to provide a low-power consumption network throughout the building. VALUE DELIVERED: Verilog/VHDL on FPGA Cyclon V-chip provides *immediate* voice transmission AWS Cloud from which supervisor can receive mail/SMS in order to fix the breakdown Network stack developed based on PLC technology allows using two-hours rated fire-proved cable without any length restrictions as does typical ethernet cable LoRa is used to cover the building in order to provide consumer low-power network within the whole building Learn more
