Dialog’s SmartPulse chipset selected for smart home solutions

Everspring, a specialist in home security, says the chipset will allow customers to monitor and control its new range of smart plugs, smoke and motion detectors, security cameras and thermostats. By using the DECT ULE 1.9GHz frequency, rather than the 2.4GHz spectrum, SmartPulse avoids the problem of co-channel interference, where multiple signals complete causing a slow down in response times. It is said to have the widest reach and range of any short range wireless standard – up to 300m with a link budget of 123dB – which means it can provide connectivity through walls, windows and even roofs. Sean McGrath, vp of Dialog's connectivity, automotive and industrial business group, commented: "We're delighted that Everspring has chosen Dialog's technology for its new home automation solutions. "With the advent of Dialog's SmartPulse solution, which provides the interference free, plug and play connectivity that consumers want, and the always on power of smartphones and tablets, we believe this is a market poised for significant growth."
