Shenzhen, China, May 29, 2018 – Dialog Semiconductor (German Stock Exchange: DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, charging and Bluetooth low-power technology, has announced its popularity with Welcome to the SmartBondTM Bluetooth Low Energy System-on-Chip (SoC) family to add Bluetooth SIG-compliant mesh support.
Dialog is launching mesh support for its latest SmartBondTM products, starting with DA14682 and DA14683, followed by DA14586 and DA14585, including its high-temperature derivative products. All of these devices are Bluetooth 5 compliant, ensuring high efficiency, industry The best mesh implementation.
The recent adoption of the Bluetooth mesh specification in the industry is exciting for both device manufacturers and consumers. It has turned Bluetooth devices into a powerful node that can cross more distant interconnected networks, solving the long-standing challenges facing the Bluetooth standard. Challenge. This helps consumers to achieve interoperability between devices produced by different manufacturers, ensures a smooth user experience, and can connect to Bluetooth devices through devices such as smartphones, tablets or voice-controlled smart speakers. The equipment is easily controlled.
With support for mesh networks, Bluetooth low energy technology will be ideal for implementing mesh networks in consumer applications such as smart homes, smart lighting and beacons, and industrial applications such as industrial automation, asset tracking, energy management, and smart cities. solution.
Sean McGrath, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Connections at Dialog Semiconductor, said: 'The Bluetooth 5 and mesh capabilities have opened the door for new applications in the consumer and industrial sectors. Distance or coverage is no longer a factor to consider. Our SmartBond SoC will not only provide the main advantages of mesh, but also the low-power advantages and Dialog technology support customers are familiar with.
To shorten the customer's product development time, Dialog offers a set of standards-compliant and tested mesh evaluation systems that can run on the hardware development kits of all the SmartBond devices it supports. For example, the DA14683 USB Development Kit is a compact single Board development kit with on-board debugger, including mikroBUSTM interface, can easily connect multiple sensor expansion boards. In addition to this complete set of development tools, Dialog also provides iOS and Android applications that help customers from smart A phone or tablet provides, configures and controls Bluetooth mesh nodes.
