Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions
that connect the world, today announced that its multi-stack,
multi-protocol GP712 System-on-Chip is in the new Zigbee®-based
HUMAX Chorus Voice Assistant. The pairing is advancing the Internet
of Things (IoT) by creating a turnkey, smart home system for
operators that integrates gateways, sensor devices, cloud platforms
and mobile applications.
Voice assistants are fueling growth in the smart home market.
According to a report from Gartner, Inc., end-user spending for the
worldwide virtual personal assistant (VPA)-enabled
wireless speaker market is forecast to reach $3.52 billion by
2021, up from $720 million in 2016. 1
With the ability to support Zigbee and Thread on different RF
channels, the GP712 enables designers to use a single transceiver
for gateway products to simultaneously serve both protocols. This
keeps gateway devices from becoming obsolete as protocol standards
evolve. The GP712 also features Qorvo’s best-in-class range and
low-power operation, and robust RF technology that limits
interference.
The GP712 was the first Zigbee 3.0-compliant platform, and the
first multi-channel IoT transceiver in the industry to be certified
for the Thread protocol.
Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity
business unit, said, “The integration of Qorvo’s future-proof GP712
in the HUMAX Chorus allows operators to easily deliver turnkey IoT
solutions to consumers. Qorvo is the only company to simultaneously
support Zigbee 3.0, Thread, Zigbee RF4CE and Zigbee Green Power in
a single radio. This flexibility significantly expands smart home
opportunities for operators and end users.”
Tae-Hun Kim, CEO of HUMAX, said, “HUMAX is excited to be working
with Qorvo to integrate its GP712 chipset into our products. As a
leading provider of gateway solutions, this will considerably
enhance the innovative solutions and services we can provide our
operators and end customers. HUMAX continues to provide excellence
in the ever expanding Smart Home marketplace, and our association
with Qorvo underscores our commitment in this field.”
Qorvo products that solve the IoT’s toughest RF challenges will
be showcased during CES 2018 (#CES2018) in Las Vegas, Nevada,
January 9-12, in booth #42531, Halls A-D of Sands Expo.
