This standard specifies a new, high-speed, long-distance RF media to the current 709 LON standards. The ISM-RF (Industry, Science, Medicine Radio Frequency) transceiver uses unlicensed RF bands and are specific for EU, North America, and other regions through a software selectable configuration property. This new standard will provide full interoperability and backwards compatibility with any of the current CTA-709 media types using a standard LON-to-LON router. This new media type is suitable for building and home applications as well as smart city and campus applications. It utilizes a meshing software algorithm to ensure broad coverage over long distance without degrading performance. With over 1MB/sec data rates, the primary use cases are for data collection, device monitoring, and control networks where wired devices are not suitable.
