q88 Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 Platform

Full implementations of Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 Border Router. Our Wi-SUN FAN Border Routers provide M2M connectivity between Ethernet based IPv6 networks and 802.15.4 based Wi-SUN FAN IPv6 mesh networks.

The Q88 is a compact platform that can function as a Wi-SUN FAN border router, designed to seamlessly forward IPv6 traffic between the outside world on an Ethernet link and a Wi-SUN 802.15.4 wireless network. The Q88 uses a Linux network stack and Exegin’s Wi-SUN FAN components to provide one of the most reliable Wi-SUN FAN border router implementations available today. Feature Set:

• ssh User Interface — provides various diagnostic commands (e.g. “ping6”).
• User password authentication (two accounts “root” and “guest”)
• Upgradeable
• DHCP/IPv6 client on Ethernet side.
• DNS Resolver
• TLS 1.2
• Multicast forwarding in and out of Wi-SUN FAN networks.
• Simple commands to listen and/or send data on UDP or TCP ports for testing Wi-SUN FAN networks.
• Atmel/Microchip RF215 dual band transceiver.
• Linux IPv6 Stack
• Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 IPv6 Stack:
  • 6LoWPAN packet compression: RFC4944 and RFC6282
  • 6LoWPAN neighbour discovery: RFC6775
  • IPv6 Core protocols: RFC2460
  • RPL Routing protocol: RFC6550, 6551, 6553, 6554
  • RPL Objective Function Zero: RFC6552
  • RPL Min-Rank Hysteresis OF: RFC6719
  • PANA Authentication: RFC5191
  • TLS version 1.2: RFC5246
  • Extensible Authentication Protocol: RFC3748
  • EAP-TLS authentication: RFC5216
  • AES-CCM Cipher suites: draft-mcgrew-tls-aes-ccm-ecc
  • MPL Multicast forwarding: draft-ietf-roll-trickle-mcast 802.15.4 MAC implementations
  • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6: RFC 8415
  • Sub-GHz and 2.4GHz radio support.

The Q88 relies in the services of the Q59 radio module for its MAC and PHY services. The Q59 radio module utilizes the Atmel/Microchip AT86RF215 dual band radio as its primary transceivers. In the case of Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 the RF215 is well suited for the FSK and OFDM modulated signaling in both sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.
