Ultra-low power RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5.4 IP
platform qualified for all features, including Periodic Advertising
with Response (PAwR) required for ESL tags
ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 6,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the
leading licensor of wireless connectivity, smart sensing
technologies and custom SoC solutions, today announced that its
RivieraWaves Bluetooth® 5.4 Platform is SIG qualified and already
licensed to several customers, including to those addressing the
rapidly expanding Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) market. Global
technology intelligence firm ABI Research forecasts that the ESL
market will grow from nearly 185 million annual shipments in 2022
to nearly 560 million units by 2027, with Bluetooth-enabled ESLs
accounting for a growing portion of the overall market.
Tal Shalev, Vice President and
General Manager of the Wireless IoT BU at CEVA, commented: "The
RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5.4 IP provides our customers with a SIG
qualified platform on which to build the lowest power Bluetooth 5.4
SoCs, including those wishing to target the rapidly expanding
electronic shelf label market. Our leadership in wireless
connectivity IPs is built on more than two decades of ultra-low
power wireless expertise spanning Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular IoT
and UWB, serving hundreds of customers and powering more than 4.5
billion wireless IoT devices. Yet again, we are the first IP
provider to achieve Bluetooth SIG qualification for the latest
standard including all optional features, ensuring our customers
can get to market quickly, with less risk and lowest cost."
CEVA's RivieraWaves Bluetooth 5.4 is the first IP platform to
achieve SIG qualification that includes all features of the
standard, including Periodic Advertising with Responses (PAwR) and
Encrypted Advertising Data (EAD), both of which are required to
address the ESL market opportunity. Smart Retail is increasingly
adopting ESLs that contain information such as pricing, offers and
promotions, inventory status, and product details. This adoption
will be greatly accelerated by the availability of a low cost,
standard-based communication technology. With Bluetooth 5.4, the
mature Bluetooth connectivity technology is enhanced to deliver an
optimized, secure and energy-efficient network to accommodate
potentially thousands of ESLs and other authenticated devices,
delivering substantial real-world economic benefits in the
process.
