London: Fabless chip company Essensium has become the first semiconductor member of the Wavenis Open Standard Alliance (Wavenis-OSA) and is advancing its partnership with wireless technology provider Coronis for a Wavenis compliant System-on-Chip (SoC).
Wavenis is a wireless technology platform which was originally developed by Coronis to address the needs of advanced metering infrastructures, wireless sensor networking and other machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. In June 2008, Coronis gave the specification of Wavenis to the Wavenis-OSA, who now manages the technology roadmap and standardization activities. Wavenis is currently installed in more than four million devices in the field around the world with the largest network having 100,000 nodes.
The core of the Wavenis technology is its power optimized wireless communications protocol combined with an advanced sub-GHz Radio Frequency transceiver. The first production batch of silicon, a low power transceiver that meets the Wavenis specifications, has been fabricated, reports EE Times.
"Thanks to the professional collaboration between our two teams, Essensium is helping us to successfully deliver the first Coronis Wavenis compliant SoC," said Laurent Maleysson, Managing Director of Coronis. "This is a major step for us and will serve as the cornerstone for all our future offerings in target markets such as smart metering, home and building automation, alarm and security, industrial, environment, smart cities, medical, UHF track and trace."
