Combining Ultra-Low Power Wi-Fi and Matter
v1.2 Certification on a Single-Chip Solution for Interoperable
Smart Home Devices
InnoPhase IoT, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company
specializing in ultra-low power Wi-Fi IoT solutions, announces the
availability of its Talaria TWO™ Matter v1.2 certified Wi-Fi
solution. It is based on a single-chip SoC compared with the
multiple-chip approach taken by many vendors. The Matter protocol
addresses the need for vendor-independent device compatibility,
easy setup, and operation. This allows the Talaria TWO Matter 1.2
solution to enable device interoperability across a variety of
ecosystems, including Apple, Google, Amazon Alexa, Samsung, etc.,
providing a wider selection of home automation devices for smart
home users.

“By 2030, ABI Research expects more than 1.5 billion
Matter-compliant smart home devices to ship annually, many of which
will be battery powered,” says Andrew Zignani, Senior Research
Director, ABI Research. “InnoPhase IoT’s Talaria TWO solution
combines its ultra-low power Wi-Fi with support for Matter 1.2
specification to deliver enhanced interoperability and extended
battery life to key smart home IoT applications such as Wi-Fi
enabled smart door locks, lighting, thermostats, and sensor
solutions. This will be critical in providing an enhanced customer
experience, up to 4x improvement in battery life, seamless
provisioning via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and high levels of
security.”
The Matter stack runs on the Talaria TWO SoC for both standalone
and microcontroller (MCU) host configurations. The standalone
operation provides the most power, size, and cost-efficient option.
Flexibility is provided by allowing customers to use an external
MCU host by offloading Matter protocol processing onto the Talaria
TWO SoC so that developers can use MCU processing and memory
resources specifically for custom applications. It also allows for
the selection of a Cortex-M0 to Cortex-M85-based processor that is
appropriate for the application. With a Matter over lowest-power
Wi-Fi approach, rather than Matter over Thread, the Talaria TWO
solution delivers a direct connection to the cloud/internet,
eliminating the need and cost of a bridge border router.
The Talaria TWO Matter full-stack software development kit, SDK
3.1, is based on FreeRTOS and provides edge-to-cloud software for
custom IoT applications, a GCC toolchain, and an eclipse-based IDE
for software development. It also includes Matter 1.2 reference
applications profiles for smart lighting and door locks with
support for Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft Azure platforms. Additional
profiles will be released in Q3 2024. The Talaria TWO Matter SDK3.1
is supported on the standalone Talaria TWO Evaluation Kit, as well
as reference designs combining Talaria TWO modules with the Nuvoton
M251 and Nuvoton M2354 MCU series hosts. The solution is scalable
to other MCUs through a HAPI interface between Talaria TWO and MCU
hosts.
“Nuvoton is excited to be working with InnoPhase IoT to deliver
Matter 1.2 solutions,” said Chad Wu, Nuvoton Vice President of the
Microcontroller Business Group. “Combining Nuvoton’s highly secure
NuMicro® microcontrollers and microprocessors with InnoPhase IoT’s
ultra-low power Talaria TWO Wi-Fi/BLE modules in a Matter reference
design notably speeds up market entry for smart home device
customers, enabling a rapid launch advantage.”
“Achieving Matter 1.2 certification is a game changer in secure
device connectivity, ensuring that smart-home devices work together
seamlessly,” said Wiren Perera, InnoPhase IoT President and COO.
“Our Talaria TWO delivers Wi-Fi at ultra-low power levels
synonymous with shorter range technologies, unleashing truly
untethered secure IoT devices. Next, it was important to provide
manufacturer and ecosystem-independent interoperability for
consumers. A scalable Matter 1.2 certified capability addresses
this challenge for a wide range of smart-home applications from
appliances through entertainment and comfort to utilities and
services,” Perera added.
The Talaria TWO Matter v1.2 solution is currently available.
Customers can purchase the evaluation kit from InnoPhase IoT and
its distributors and the M251+T2 and M2354+T2 reference designs
from Nuvoton distributors. Matter SDK3.1 is available from the
InnoPhase IoT website customer portal. Contact
sales@innoPhaseiot.com for demonstrations.
InnoPhase IoT will showcase its Matter 1.2 certified solutions
at Sensors Converge in Santa Clara, CA, June 24-26 at booth #917.
Deepal Mehta, Senior Director of Marketing and Business
Development, will present on the Cloud-To-Edge Architecture panel
on Tuesday, June 25 at 3:20 p.m.
