Treehouse Labs is an innovative IP and new product development company that located in Austin, Texas. With its highly integrated approach, it is able to deliver seamless, low-power wireless networks. An asset tracking and control system will be revealed by Treehouse Labs. Using IEEE802.15.4 low-power radio at CES next week, the asset tracking and control system operates through phones and web-enabled devices.

Customisable apps, web interfaces, gateways, routers, and end-to-end management and security are included in the platform which enables customers to build low-power wireless sensor networks. With the networks, customers can connect and control smart objects from a smartphone, iPad, PC and cloud server. NXP’s wireless microcontrollers are provided by the radio hardware. Using NXP’s low-power wireless technology, Treehouse’s BiKN interoperates through major smartphone OS software platforms, thus the need for custom readers can be eliminated.

BiKN is a consumer product for iphone, which will be unveiled at CES. It is a physical sleeve that certain iPhones slide into, that includes hardware which lets the phone track and control enabled objects close-by, or further away via routers and mesh networks. Moreover, JN5148 microcontroller and the JenNet-IP wireless network protocol stack are used by the Treehouse. JenNet-IP can be used to implement a self-healing network that can communicate with up to 500 devices with a modified 6LoWPAN 802.15.4-based network layer. An extensible API, DIPL of JenNet-IP is for application developers.
