siliconindia | |March 201419IP based wireless protocol is preferred to seamlessly connect devices hence the preference of Wi-Fi technology over others for IoT deployment" says Venkat.The innovation and uniqueness that has been a part of the DNA of the team has helped them to create a new suite of products to address the IoT market, the RS9113 M2MCombo chipset. This supports the latest 802.11n WLAN in both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, dual-mode Bluetooth with EDR and LE, and Zigbee, making it an ideal building block in the M2M networks of tomorrow. The chipset is available in module form with various form factors with and without an antenna included, further easing wireless integration. Redpine's RTLS solutions comprise all necessary components of a deployment ­ including tags, configurators, augmentation devices, survey tools and cloud based locationing software."We started off a decade ago to create a convergence chipset for mobile phone but today we offer ultra low power wireless chipsets and also systemproducts in the form of modules and devices. Contrary to many critic's belief, our strategy of providing total solution created a unique position to succeed in this inch deep mile wide IoT market" says Venkat.The Remedy to Traffic WoesRedpine's pioneering technology innovation in its wireless products is the foundation for applicability in the Internet of Things, M2M Communications, mobile and computing space, and the digital home and networking areas. Redpine's extensive innovation and optimization has gone into the core components of its product lines. These include the CMOS RF transceiver, the Wi-Fi MAC/Baseband processor, the CPU that runs the protocol and application software, the range of modules tailored for various applications and all the firmware and embedded software that implement standards-compliant protocol.Redpine addresses the problem of extending battery life of wireless embedded devices on several fronts, with a substantial patent portfolio backing its innovations in this area. System architecture ensures optimal construction of subsystems and delineation of functions between software and hardware. High performance wireless processing ­ involving the RF, analog, and baseband processor enables the use of higher data rates reducing the time spent in energy consuming active states. Fine grained power control ensures blocks and subsystems operate in full power only when needed. Fast acting power mode decision making provides instantaneous and transparent setting of optimal modes. Dynamic trade-off between performance and power helps use the right operational mode for each step in an operational profile. Ultra low power sleep timers enable the entire system to be turned off while awaiting the arrival of the next update event seconds, minutes, or hours later. Special purpose hardware engines offload energy consuming security and intensive data handling operations. And extensive firmware handles enable application level optimization of the system's power profile.By end of 2012, there were over five billion WLAN devices shipped, and over the next five years this figure is expected to reach 20 billion. The result of this growth is visible already ­ crowded channels with noticeable data drop-outs, reduced quality of service and even difficulty to connect. The 5 GHz band, with its 24 distinct channels as opposed to three in the 2.4 802.11abgn + BT 4.0 Dual Mode + ZigBee 15.4-2009With a relentless effort and R&D spanning over a decade, innovations by Redpine coming at this time are a major breakthrough in the world of IoT and a step closer to making the dream a realityM2MCOMBOTM: RS9113 ­ FIRST AND UNIQUE CHIPSET FOR M2M MARKET
