Dust Networks partners with industry and standards groups such as ISA, the HART Foundation, IEEE and IETF to ensure the broad adoption of interoperable wireless sensor networking products.

“Dust has played a pioneering role in wireless sensor networking. The company’s Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP), now a foundational building block of the WirelessHART standard, has served as a catalyst for the industrial market,” said Harry Forbes, senior analyst at ARC Advisory Group. “Dust’s embedded WSN solutions are a critical step in accelerating the broad adoption of standards-based wireless field devices.”

Originally developed by Dust Networks as part of its Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP), time synchronized mesh networking has become the foundational building block for reliable WSN protocols in the two leading industrial standards, WirelessHART and ISA100, and is now emerging in WSN standards being developed by the IEEE and IETF.
