Wireless Solutions Optimize Battery Life and
Extend Range
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today announced that its connectivity solutions are
enabling next generation tracking devices, a new and exciting
Internet of Things application. Specifically, Skyworks’ high
efficiency, front-end systems have been adopted by XY Findables, a
market leader in nearable technology, to increase battery life and
nearly double the range when compared to other personal item
finders.
“By leveraging Skyworks’ fully integrated solutions, we were
able to accelerate the introduction of the most powerful Bluetooth®
item finder available today,” said Arie Trouw, chief executive
officer of XY. “XY4+’s platform radically improves performance and
extends battery life up to five years, supporting our goal of
providing consumers both peace of mind and assistance when locating
their most valuable items.”
“Advancing Bluetooth® wireless performance in premium products
like XY4+ demonstrates our commitment to pioneering breakthrough
technologies and addressing demand for connectivity across a broad
array of IoT applications,” said John O’Neill, vice president of
product marketing for Skyworks. “As part of our ambitious vision to
connect everyone and everything all the time, we are delighted to
partner with innovative companies like XY Findables to offer our
system-level expertise and broad product portfolio.”
According to XY, the average person spends approximately five
hours a month searching for misplaced items like TV remotes, keys,
smartphones, eyewear, wallets and purses. In a recent report from
the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency, personal
tracking devices are expected to become the fastest growing market
within the Location Based Services (LBS) sector with an expected
compounded annual growth rate of 18 percent between 2016 and
2025.
