3 COST EFFICIENT Wzzard Edge Nodes connect to existing sensors. and give those sensors wireless mesh networking capability. They require no external power source. Battery life can be measured in years. Wzzard Edge Nodes can be mounted magnetically or with the use of their mounting ears. They are easy to deploy, easy to configure and easy to use. RELIABLE The Wzzard platform uses mesh networking and time-synchronized channel hopping to provide up to % connectivity, even in the most demanding RF environments. SCALABLE New Wzzard nodes and their attached sensors may be added to the network at any time. The SmartMesh IP network will dynamically self-configure as new nodes are added or removed. This is a function of the mesh network itself, and does not need to be controlled by the network gateway. Each Wzzard node has routing capability, so nodes need not be within wireless range of the gateway. They need only be within wireless range of fellow Wzzard nodes. SECURE The Wzzard Intelligent Edge Nodes and the Specter Network Gateway communicate via SmartMesh IP. SmartMesh IP has built-in encryption, and it lets users determine how often the network should change keys. It includes end-toend encryption, message integrity checking, and device authentication. The Spectre Network Gateway places the SmartMesh IP network behind a firewall. If connecting via the cellular data networks, the Spectre Network Gateway lets users use VPN tunneling, which makes the cellular systems as secure as proprietary infrastructure. COMPLIANCE Installing the Wzzard Edge Node to report system flow levels makes it esy for a wastewater plant to meet Environmental Protection, Water Pollution 305 Monitoring and Reporting and 304 Effluent Standards. SmartMesh IP Mesh Network Security Device Authentication Encryption Message Integrity Check (MIC) Synchronized Key Changeovers Customized Key Rotation Powerful device authentication 128 bit AES-based encryption with multiple keys ensures data privacy and confidentiality Data transmission is protected by message authentication codes to ensure that it has not been tampered with The entire network changes over to a new encryption key automatically. The customer decides how often the network should change keys, trading off extra security with additional network traffic. Spectre Router/Network Gateway Security Firewall NAT Configuration VPN Tunneling OpenVPN Tunneling Ipsec Tunneling The network gateway s firewall can be configured to allow only specified hosts to access the router and internal LAN network. It can also be configured to allow only the traffic on a certain IP port to pass through to the internal network. Up to 8 filters can be defined. NAT (Network address Translation / Port address Translation - PAT) is a method of sharing a single external IP address among many internal hosts. It also helps prevent unauthorized access to the internal network. Up to 16 NAT rules may be defined IPSec, OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, EasyVPN, GRE Authentication by certificates, shared keys, name/password OpenVPN is a protocol which is used to create a secure connection between two LANs. Up to 2 OpenVPN tunnels may be created. IPsec is a protocol which is used to create a secure connection between two LANs. Up to 4 IPsec tunnels may be created. GRE Tunneling L2PT Tunneling PPTP Tunneling GRE is a protocol which is used to create an unencrypted connection between two LANs. Up to 4 GRE tunnels may be created. L2TP is a protocol which is used to create an unencrypted connection between two LANs. One L2TP tunnel may be created. PPTP is a protocol which is used to create a secure connection between two LANs. One PPTP tunnel may be created.

4 Machines have been talking to machines for decades... Intelligence at the Network Edge is a very simple concept. Put the decision close to the action. But the Internet of Things has transformed that conversation. Consequently, what was once a simple process suddenly became complicated. What had been straight-forward very quickly became complex. We have made it simple again by enabling connected intelligence... starting at the network edge. B+B SmartWorx offers an easy-to-use, complete wireless sensor connectivity platform for the rapid deployment of scalable, intelligent, reliable IoT networking in demanding environments. Unlike a traditional SCADA application where sensors and edge devices are simply passive conduits for raw data, edge decision making delivers a more effective network. Now, using iterative control limits and gateway data aggregation to support applications closer to the network edge, M2M evolves from machine communication to machine decision making. The Wzzard Intelligent Sensing Platform brings this intelligence to the network starting at the sensor, creating a more responsive, reliable and efficient network.

5 Using the IoT ready protocol, MQTT, semantic sensor data is delivered to the application layer over a secure, scalable, resilient wireless SmartMesh IP mesh network. Smart processing starts at the edge of the network. Wzzard uses the lightweight, publish/subscribe messaging transport MQTT protocol for sensor communications. MQTT is an extremely simple messaging protocol created for M2M and IoT applications over wireless networks. Because of its efficient distribution of information to single or multiple receivers, low power usage and minimized data packets, it is ideal for mobile or remote locations. SmartMesh IP is defining the way to connect smart devices. SmartMesh IP is based upon the wireless IEEE e standard. SmartMesh IP creates full-mesh networks, sometimes referred to as mesh-to-the-edge networks. SmartMesh IP networks use a triple-play of wireless mesh technologies - time diversity, frequency diversity, and physical diversity - to assure reliability, resiliency, scalability, power source flexibility, and ease-of-use. At the core, the technology is an intelligent mesh network with advanced algorithms and power saving technologies that enable powerful features not available from other WSN providers including: Auto-forming mesh technology for a self-healing and self-sustaining network Scalability to large, dense, deep networks Ultra low power consumption Deterministic power management and optimization Dynamic bandwidth support, load balancing and optimization Network management and configuration Zero collision low power packet exchange

6 Wzzard Intelligent Edge Nodes Easy, Efficient and Effective Easy to Deploy Easy to Manage Wzzard Intelligent Edge Nodes connect your sensors to wireless SmartMesh IP networks. They accommodate external sensors with a variety of interface options that include general purpose analog inputs, digital input/output and thermocouple. The Wzzard Intelligent Edge Node collects data from the sensor, then organizes and transforms that data into useful and relevant information easing the processing burden on upstream resources. Configurable by smart phone or tablet, nodes can minimize data traffic by only communicating exceptions to specified threshold or pre-determined alert levels. If the gateway is using the cellular network, this reduces the cost of the data plan. Configuration options can also include geo-location, device name and uptime to format data for easier analytics. With the use of control time synchronization, the Intelligent Edge Node can be programmed to maximize battery life, exceeding 5 years for many applications. IP67 rated for outdoor use Battery powered with power wiring options M12 conduit Magnetized or screw mount options UV impact resistant enclosure An answer always starts with a question and a solution always starts with a problem.
