Smart Grid - Killer Application Scenario
•Smart Grid
•Reworked infrastructure that embeds digital intelligence into the entire process of
producing, distributing, pricing and consuming electricity to allow a continous real-time
two-way information exchange between utilities and final users
•This vision also impacts the Home Network scenarios where the different appliances
can be connected together in order to give individuals over their consumption
•ZigBee is identified as one of the enabling wireless technologies for smart grid and
home networks scenarios

15. Benefits of using the SPZB32W Series of RF modules
•Advantages in adopting SPZB32W modules come
from 4 different aspects
•Off-the-shelf solutions
•Based on the STM32W core technology
•Advanced module design
•Same supplier of modules and chipset
From the application development perspective chips and modules
are equivalent but the modules SOLVE the issues of RF design by
construction making the integration of radio capabilities in a target
device very easy

29. Perytons Network Analyzer
 ST Kits include an evaluation
version of Perytons network
analyzer which will allow
customer to use the standard
edition of software for a period
of 30 days. After this
customers can upgrade directly
from Perytons.
 Perytons Network Analyzer
customer support will be
handled by Perytons.
 ST has developed a special
firmware to configure any
STM32W application board as
a Perytons capture device.

 Wireshark is a the most popular and widely used
network packet analyzer able to capture and decode
packet from a large variety of standards.
 Wireshark is Open Source Software released under the
GNU General Public License, therefore free of charge.
 ST has developed a Dot15dot4WiresharkServer which
allow to use Wireshark with STM32W boards.
