SimpliciTI™ is a low-power RF protocol aimed at simple, small RF networks. This open-source software is an excellent start for building a network with battery-operated devices using one of TI’s low-power RF System-on-Chips (SoC) or the MSP430 ultra-low-power MCU and a TI RF transceiver. SimpliciTI was designed for easy implementation and deployment out-of-the-box on several TI RF platforms such as the MSP430 MCUs and the CC1XXX/CC25XX transceivers and SoCs. The sample applications run out-of-the-box on the SmartRF boards with CC2430EM and CC2520EM, as well as the MSP430FG4618/F2013 Experimenter Board with the CC1100EM, CC1101EM, or CC2500EM.

SimpliciTI
Key Features:
• Low power: A TI proprietary low-power network protocol
