Okay, they have a PIC that you can directly connect to an RF45 ethernet jack. Nice. Now, what you want to do is go wireless. Or, even before that, how about putting an end-to-end demo like this :
Requirements - laptop or desktop, router or modem with multiple ethernet ports, demo board
Now, how do you connect this demo board to the router and get something to look at on your PC. Where is the source code so you can customize it?
Ultimately, any application has to have a wireless backup just for security reasons. You simply cannot depend on a wire that people can snap. Always build in as much autonomy as you can. Energy harvesting is definitely a plus. This is why TI is ahead of Microchip and will continue to remain so.
