SMK Electronics (Europe) Ltd., a division of SMK
Corporation (Japan) announced today that SMK will manufacture,
market and support the IP500 RF Dual-Band Module (CNX200) with
highest security and performance of the IP500 Mesh Network for use
in commercial building automation applications. Deployed in
mission-critical facility applications, the IP500 module (CNX200)
furthers the global IP500 Alliance standard for safety and security
systems.
“SMK Electronics is actively expanding its role in facility
automation, building security and HEMS applications,” said Paul
Evans, President, SMK Electronics Corporation. “Through our
partnership with CoreNetiX GmbH, SMK will globally manufacture the
RF IP500 Module (CNX200), enabling high-speed data transfer for
critical facility systems, and furthering the IP500 Alliance
standard for commercial automation applications.”
“We are delighted with our selection of SMK Electronics to
manufacture and globally market the worldwide most robust IP500
Dual Band RF Module,” said Helmut Adamski, Chief Executive Officer,
IP500 Alliance. “Commercial facility automation is a
rapidly-expanding global opportunity, driven in large part by the
emergence of the IP500 Alliance standard. Through the partnership
between SMK and CoreNetiX, the IP500 Alliance has enhanced the
IP500 Standard, expanded the manufacturing capabilities for highest
volumes, and extended our marketing reach for IP500 activities: all
required to service this emerging global IoT market
opportunity.”
The IP500 Module & and the IP500 Alliance
IP500 is a wireless mesh network standard endorsed by the IP500
Alliance, achieving low-power consumption, high speed transfer, and
high security with a new communication standard called LPWA (Low
Power Wide Area) which is becoming popular with IoT business
expansion. The appropriate market of IP500 would be security such
as fire and intrusion detection, and would be suitable for smart
city, smart grid, wearable device, smart factory and home. As it
has achieved confirmation with the EN regulations for fire-safety
standard within Europe, it is expected to be used in Building
Security, HEMS, or any other fields requiring high reliability.
The IP500 Alliance is an international organization of building
automation manufacturers. The organization’s IP500 standard, a
non-proprietary, high-performance, secure building automation
platform, supports commercial wireless protocols including IEEE
802.15.4-2006, 6LoWPAN, IPv6, IPSec, BACnet, and AES128, IP500®, to
ensure maximum interoperability and specification of client
wireless interface protocols. Learn more at www.IP500.org.
