Abstract :
The design and implementation of a mobile low power RF network appliance to connect mobile intelligent nodes in one communication system. Its applicability can be found in a wide range of domains such as home automation, low speed Internet networking, data logging applications, surveillance equipment and many others. The system features self-configuring point to point routing making it particularly useful for home automation applications
