DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR LAUNCHES SMARTPULSE IP GATEWAY REFERENCE DESIGN FOR
WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
SmartPulseTM reference design and dev kits enable rapid development of
remotely managed home automation systems
Smart Homes 2011, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Kirchheim/Teck, Germany,
4 October 2011 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a provider of highly
integrated innovative power management, audio and short range wireless
technologies, has announced a SmartPulse(TM) IP gateway reference design
that enables SmartPulse and other DECT ULE home automation wireless sensor
/ actuator products to be connected to the web for remote management via
smartphones, laptops and tablet PCs.
The reference design integrates Dialog's SmartPulse SC14CVMDECT wireless
base station device and SC14452 VoIP application host processor with 32Mb
of flash memory, 16MB SDRAM, an Ethernet Phy and Ethernet transformer.
Measuring 60x100mm the reference board is supported by Dialog's Rhea
µClinux software development environment, which includes web servers,
TCP/IP stack and an SSH server. Included with the reference design are two
example sensor application boards; these automatically connect with the IP
gateway reference design and enable the testing of web control systems for
SmartPulse enabled products.
To further simplify the design process for new wireless sensor network
systems Dialog has also announced development kits for the complete family
of SmartPulse DECT ULE sensors (SC14WSMDATA, SC14WSMDECT) and base station
(SC14CVMDECT) devices. These kits include both devices and software,
providing a simple way to create SmartPulse based systems such as wireless
controlled door locks, smoke alarms, light switches, home appliances and
personal security and health-care systems.
Launched in September Dialog's low power wireless sensor network devices
are capable of running for up to 10 years on a single AAA battery pack; are
certified for worldwide use; stream 232bit packet data in the 1870-1930MHz
licensed DECT band; have a 300m range; are self-configuring and require no
network planning.
Dr. Asmund Tielens, Vice President, General Manager of Dialog's
Connectivity and Automotive & Industrial Business Group said: 'DECT ULE is
the key enabling technology for wireless sensor networks for home
automation, healthcare, security and energy monitoring consumer
applications. Our SmartPulse reference design and development kits will
significantly speed time to market for customers entering these new
markets.'
Dialog is a co-founder of the DECT ULE standard and the SC14WSMDATA,
SC14WSMDECT and SC14CVMDECT are the industry's first commercially available
DECT ULE devices, enabling the creation of home automation, security and
energy metering devices that automatically configure with the base station,
removing the need for network planning.
Dialog is demonstrating its SmartPulse development kits and reference
designs at the Smart Homes exhibition and conference, Amsterdam until 6th
October.
