NETWORLD + INTEROP 2001 TO FEATURE GROUNDBREAKING DEMONSTRATION OF IPV6 ON AN 8-BIT MICROCONTROLLER
TOKYO, JAPAN – June 1, 2001 – InternetNode Inc. and Yokogawa Electric Corporation will demonstrate their IPv6 capability by connecting more than 100 of their "HotNode" temperature-sensing micronodes to the exhibition network at Networld+Interop 2001 Tokyo on June 6–8, 2001 (Booth 2B26). "HotNode" is an IPv6-enabled exhibit model that uses Dallas Semiconductor's DS-TINI-1 microcontroller, the industry's first embedded microcontroller with IPv6 connectivity. The microcontroller utilizes an IPv6 stack, implemented jointly by InternetNode and Yokogawa, that has been integrated into Dallas Semiconductor's TINI run-time environment.
IP version 6 (IPv6) has a 128-bit address space, allowing for a virtually unlimited number of nodes to connect directly to the Internet. A compact embedded microcontroller with IPv6 connectivity is needed to allow appliance and equipment manufacturers to design products for new applications and markets. InternetNode Inc. and Yokogawa Electric Corporation chose the DS-TINI-1 microcontroller from Dallas Semiconductor because of its low cost and underlying support of Internet technologies.
InternetNode will further develop new devices using IPv6 technology and will also create new applications and business models utilizing IPv6's abundant address space and end-to-end communication ability.
Dallas Semiconductor will demonstrate and announce support for IPv6 applications on their network microcontrollers (http://www.ibutton.com/TINI/ds80c400.pdf) at JavaOneSM, June 4–8, 2001,
in San Francisco. The Company will also feature a demonstration of their
DS-TINI-1 microcontroller at JavaOneSM, Booth 707. Programmers attending JavaOneSM will also be able to get the first printing of "The TINI Specification and Developer’s Guide" which details the use of the DS80C390/400 microcontrollers as TINI servers that run Java. The publisher, Addison-Wesley, will have the first copies at Booth 1811.
