The market for ZigBee modules is large and growing. According to IHS Technology, 20% of all ZigBee PRO integrated circuits shipping today are used in modules, and ZigBee module shipments are expected to grow at a compounded rate of 24.6% between now and 2019.
Telegesis uses Silicon Labs’ ZigBee technology in its module products, which are deployed in smart meters, USB adapters and gateways for smart energy applications. Additional target applications include home automation, connected lighting, security and industrial automation. The modules come with Silicon Labs’ EmberZNet PRO ZigBee protocol stack, which is claimed to have been deployed in more connected products than any other ZigBee PRO stack. Telegesis also offers development and evaluation kits to help developers streamline their ZigBee-based applications.
Ollie Smith, director of business development at Telegesis, said: “Together, our hardware and software engineering teams will drive innovation in wireless mesh networking while giving customers a flexible choice of module and SoC-based designs leveraging both ZigBee and Thread technology.”
