All objects of this class have a certain set of properties (associated variables), accessories (ways to access those variables), and methods (functions). An instance of that object may then be declared, giving it a unique, named identity so that it may be used in the program. This process is called “instantiation....

In concurrent computing, multiple calculations are made within overlapping time frames. It takes advantage of the concept that multiple threads or processes can make progress on a task without waiting for others to complete. This general approach to writing and executing computer programs is called concurrency. Concurrent computing is different than synchronous (sequential) computing, where calculations are made one after the other, with each waiting for the previous to complete. It’s not the same as parallel computing, where calculations are made simultaneously on separate processors....

Together, the devices form a mesh network of nodes that transmit data intermittently at a low bitrate, using broadcast techniques such as CSS (chirp spread spectrum). Because of the low power requirements, these devices can operate for years without maintenance. Maximum distance between nodes can range from approximately 2 km (urban areas) to 10 km (rural areas)....
