Dialog Semiconductor launches smartpulse IP gateway reference design for wireless sensor networks.
The provider of integrated power management, audio and short range wireless technologies has announced a SmartPulse 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 60mm x 100mm, 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 that 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 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.
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.
