DSP Group Joins the Project Connected Home over IP Initiative
August 26 2020 - 7:00AM
DSP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:
DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless and
voice-processing chipset solutions for converged communications,
today announced it has joined the Zigbee Alliance and its Project
Connected Home over IP (CHIP) Working Group. DSP Group will
contribute its expertise in ULE (ultra-low-energy) wireless with
native real-time two-way voice support to help deliver upon the
promise of Project CHIP, a royalty-free connectivity standard that
will increase interoperability among smart home products.
“This is an exciting time for IoT, smart home,
and voice as a user interface,” said Tali Chen, Chief Business
Officer of DSP Group. “Making a wireless interface as trustworthy,
reliable, and seamless as possible is foundational to the user
experience and the success of any product designed for this
application. With this mind, we look forward to working with
members of the Zigbee Alliance and Project CHIP initiative to
define an interface that meets the requirements of Project CHIP,
while providing ultra-low-power, interference-free whole-home
wireless coverage with native two-way voice support.”
ULE technology is designed for the Internet of
Things (IoT). Derived from DECT, it operates in the 1.7- to 1.9-GHz
band with a typical output power and receiver sensitivity of 20 dBm
(in the US), and -93 dBm, respectively. As such, it provides
ultra-low-power wireless connectivity over a much longer range.
With a power consumption of just 2.5 µA in hibernation mode,
depending upon the chip or module used, it can greatly extend
battery life. Moreover, it was designed from the ground up to
support real-time two-way voice. ULE technology has already been
adopted by tier 1 service providers including Deutsche Telekom,
Orange, Verisure, ADT, and many more.
The Project CHIP Working Group was started by
Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance with the goal of
developing and promoting the adoption of a new royalty-free
connectivity standard to increase compatibility among smart home
products, with security as a fundamental design tenet. The aim of
the group is to define a specific set of IP-based networking
technologies for device certification. By participating in Project
CHIP, DSP Group builds upon its already tight collaborative
relationships with many of its members, including Google, Amazon,
and more recently ADT, to help its customers develop the next
generation of smart home devices.
“As IoT matures, there’s a clear need for
convergence and collaboration to reach desired connectivity,” said
Chris LaPré, IoT Architect, Zigbee Alliance. “Having DSP Group join
the Alliance and contribute their global expertise and perspective
is much appreciated and welcomed as we together steer
industry-shaping initiatives such as Project CHIP.”
