DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR ANNOUNCES PANASONIC AS WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK HOME
AUTOMATION CUSTOMER
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 13 September 2011 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG), a provider of highly integrated innovative power management, audio
and short range wireless technologies, has announced that its DECT ULE
(ultra low energy) technology has been adopted by Panasonic for the
company's new range of ultra low energy wireless home safety devices.
DECT ULE forms the basis of Dialog's newly introduced SmartPulse(TM)
wireless sensor network devices. DECT ULE based products combine long
range, low interference and ease of use with ultra-low power consumption
levels. These systems automatically connect and configure with a home's
wireless sensor network hub and can be remotely managed via the web using a
smartphone, laptop or tablet PC.
Dialog's ultra low energy wireless sensor network devices have been created
with battery-powered applications in mind, operate in the 1.9GHz DECT
frequency band, have a range of more than 50m indoors and 300m outdoors,
are self-configuring and require no network planning.
The DECT ULE standard is backwards compatible; enabling wireless sensor
nodes to communicate with existing legacy DECT enabled hubs and internet
gateways from multiple manufacturers, with a simple software update. IMS
Research has projected a rapid uptake of the DECT ULE standard for wireless
sensor networks.
The deal further extends Dialog's relationship with Panasonic, a leading
Japanese technology innovator and manufacturer that also uses Dialog's DECT
technology for its digital cordless phones and Dialog's configurable power
management ICs to maximise the battery life of its recently launched range
of media / TV players.
Mr. Takehisa-san, General Manager Communications Products Platform Group at
Panasonic System Networks said: 'Dialog is the first company to launch the
DECT ULE standard and through this technology we are able to bring
significant benefits to our customers. DECT ULE technology will expand the
success of our cordless product portfolio and the technology is ideally
suited for smart home safety applications.'
Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog said: 'Combining exceptionally low power
consumption and ease of network configurability with DECT's large user base
and consumer friendly, easy to install nature, makes DECT ULE a key
enabling technology for home automation, health, security and smart power
monitoring applications. Together with Dialog, Panasonic's innovative team
has brought wireless home safety devices to the consumer world and the
company is well positioned to lead these new wireless sensor network
markets.'
Dialog, a co-founder of the DECT ULE standard, announced its SmartPulse
family of system-in-package IC devices in September 2011. The modules are
the industry's first commercially available DECT ULE devices and enable the
creation of home automation, security and energy monitoring devices that
automatically configure with the base station, removing the need for
network planning.
Three SmartPulse devices, with development kits and an IP enabled reference
design, will be demonstrated by Dialog in October at the Smart Homes
exhibition and conference, Amsterdam.
