To accelerate the arrival of smart home
automation built on a standardized IoT-enabled technology, ON
Semiconductor joins one of the fastest growing consortiums
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficiency
innovations, has become a member of the Thread Group - an industry
organization dedicated to market education and product
certification for Thread, a low-power, wireless mesh networking
protocol designed to easily and securely connect hundreds of
devices in the home. This move underlines the company’s commitment
to implementing Internet of Things (IoT) technology across all key
application areas.
Thread is the new IP-based low-power wireless mesh networking
protocol designed specifically for the home. It is designed to
easily and securely connect hundreds of devices to each other and
directly to the cloud using real Internet Protocols in a low-power,
wireless mesh network.
“Membership in Thread Group will keep ON Semiconductor at the
forefront of IoT development in relation to the digital home,”
added Ryan Cameron, vice president of Industrial and Timing
products at ON Semiconductor. “Working together with other members,
we will be able to realize the group’s principal goal of making it
possible to connect and control electronic systems within people’s
living spaces in a straightforward, reliable and energy-efficient
manner.”
“Everyone at Thread Group is very pleased to have ON
Semiconductor join our membership, and we feel the company will be
a great asset to us in the future,” stated Chris Boross, president
of Thread Group. “We’re delighted that ON Semiconductor will join
our efforts to establish Thread as the most widely-adopted protocol
powering the next generation of the connected home.”
The NCS3651x family of 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) ultra-low power
transceivers was introduced late last year in support of ON
Semiconductor’s IoT initiative. Developed using the company’s
expertise in highly integrated mixed-signal technology and radio
frequency (RF) design, all devices are optimized for low power
consumption and high efficiency with single supply operation from a
standard battery (1.0 volt (V) to 3.6 V) and best in class low
receive and transmit currents. They are ideal for use in low data
rate, intermittent communication for smart metering, home
automation, building automation, lighting and other IoT
applications.
