This week, we've introduced a Wireless Gecko software solution created to simplify industrial and commercial IoT applications using sub-GHz wireless connections by adding Bluetooth connectivity.

We recently had the chance to speak with Jean-Noel PAILLARD, advanced studies manager at Hager Group, a 62-year-old German-based company providing solutions and services for electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

We want to be very clear: installed, previously paired Z-Wave devices are secure and not vulnerable to a downgrade attack. This represents practically all 100 million Z-Wave devices in homes today.

 

We have yet to see the full-fledged economic value of billions of new IoT devices entering multiple industries, though we can prepare ourselves with what we know will come along with it.

Silicon Labs announced the acquisition of Sigma Designs Z-Wave business. Adding Z-Wave to the wireless portfolio gives ecosystem providers and developers of smart home solutions access to the broadest range of wireless connectivity options available.

Although not an entirely new concept, the smart meter market continues to be a major global growth market based on the device's ability to greatly improve efficiencies for both utility companies and consumers.

Silicon Labs had the opportunity to sit down with cofounder and CTO Kevin Langdon to hear how the company got its start and what he sees for the future.

Silicon Labs has released another proprietary wireless solution, the new Flex Gecko EFR32FG14, which achieves significant low power gains and offers many of the same peripheral capabilities found in previous Flex Gecko solutions. Learn more on the blog.

Silicon Labs chats with Greg Tracy, co-founder and CTO of Propeller Health. A player in the healthcare space from Wisconsin, Propeller Health has been focused on leveraging cutting-edge technology to help asthma and COPD patients.

Silicon Labs’ Isolators included in study at Aalto University in Finland.
