The motes are big in the size, expensive in
the price, but I believe in the future the price of those simple motes
will be $1.
Radio ICs cost over $2 and MCU's are currently in the $4+ range for
ones that can support 802.15.4 and/or TinyOS.
For quantity of 10,000 I suppose ?
Yes, I understand very well but as I wrote earlier how can the Z-Wave consortium achieve prices like $40 for a controller< The $1 price tag requires volumes that we aren't even close to achieving. The cost you pay for motes include the price of the components, the cost of designing and manufacturing the board (remember that someone has to be paid to put the components ON the board), and the cost of doing business.
or $60 for the Pc interface ?
Are their products so much simpler than they can afford production price of $10 or is there dumping somewhere ?
