L-Node
From Capsil Wiki
The L-Nodes [1] are the latest edition from SOWNet Technologies. It's predecessor, the T-Node was originally developed as a research platform whereas the L-Node is designed to meet market requirements. The L-Node is tiny, approximately one third the size of the T-Node. Its rectangular shape and edge connector allow for much smaller designs.

Application
L-Nodes can be used for and implemented in:
- Building management systems
- Micro-climate monitoring like Relative Humidity moni-toring
- Dynamic evacuation systems (DES)
- Seat monitoring in the public railway sector
- Fire systems
- Intruder systems
- Men guarding
- Access Control systems
- Temperature monitoring (HVAC systems)
Power
The main power drain on the T-Node is the radio, so nodes conserve power by turning off their radio and going into sleep mode whenever possible. The L-Node can operate up to five times longer on the same batteries due to a more energy efficient microcontroller and radio which can operate on as little as 1.8 V. This allows the L-Nodes to use almost the entire capacity of two standard 1.5 V batteries, whereas the T-Node would leave a relatively large part unused.
