Low-Power RF Protocols
Low-power RF ICs provide for cost effective low-power wireless solutions for ISM Band, ZigBee and a variety of short-range applications in the 315/433/868/915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz frequency bands.
ZigBee Smart Energy offers utility companies secure, easy-to-use wireless home area networks (HAN) for managing energy. Smart Energy gives utilities and their customers the power to directly communicate with thermostats and other smart appliances.
AMI systems measure, collect and analyze energy usage, from advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, and/or water meters, through various communication media on request or on a pre-defined schedule.
