New ZigBee 3.0 SDK eases compatibility with multiple communication protocols in today’s Smart Home
SHANGHAI, China – May 10, 2016 – QorvoŽ (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading
provider of core technologies and RF solutions for mobile,
infrastructure and defense applications, today announced the
availability of a ZigBee 3.0 software development kit (SDK) for Smart
Home gateways that incorporate the new GP712 radio communication
controller chip from GreenPeak Technologies (now the Low Power Wireless
business unit of Qorvo). The ZigBee 3.0 SDK allows application
developers to program a GP712-equipped gateway to communicate
seamlessly with various sensors, controllers and systems within today’s
Smart Home. The new SDK was unveiled at the Qorvo/GreenPeak
Technologies booth (Hall N2, #2255) at CES Asia in Shanghai.
The ZigBee 3.0 SDK includes simplified software development models
(APIs) that enable quick development of GP712-equipped gateway products
as part of complete, end-to-end systems for the Smart Home. The SDK
architecture is fully scalable and flexible, enabling smooth
integration of upcoming standards such as Thread. When combined with
the GP712, the SDK allows gateway manufacturers to remain protocol
agnostic and support multiple communication stacks in a single device.
“Our new SDK allows application developers to quickly build a ZigBee
3.0-enabled gateway that functions as the heart of the integrated Smart
Home. GP712-enabled gateways serve as the central point for information
gathering and routing of communication between sensors, controllers and
smart phone apps,” says Cees Links, General Manager of Qorvo’s Low
Power Wireless business unit. “Smart services like home monitoring,
senior lifestyle, HVAC and lighting that use different communication
standards will be around for some time. This SDK adds protocol
intelligence to the gateway, enabling it to communicate simultaneously
using a variety of technologies, and helps ensure compatibility with
current and future standards. We believe this important addition to our
portfolio will allow the Smart Home market to continue to grow in a
future-proof way.”
The GP712 radio communication controller chip, unveiled at CES2016,
enables optimal coexistence of multiple Smart Home systems based on the
IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard, supporting ZigBee 3.0, Thread, ZigBee
RF4CE and ZigBee Green Power in a single radio. True multi-channel
support enables the protocol stacks to seamlessly communicate on
different channels.
