SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InnoPhase IoT, Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company specializing in ultra-low power Wi-Fi IoT and TDK InvenSense, announce an end-to-end sensor-to-cloud platform that combines the Talaria TWO™ (T2) Wi-Fi SoC and TDK InvenSense’s ICU-30201 ultra-long-range ultrasonic time-of-flight range sensor. The integration provides direct connectivity to the cloud without needing external MCUs, lowers power consumption and total cost of ownership, and dramatically increases battery life. The solution targets applications such as smart locks, video cameras, access control systems, and others for Smart Homes, Building Automation, and Industrial IoT.
In typical operation, the ICU-30201 sensor, upon object presence detection, activates the T2 and provides the range data. T2 manages cloud connectivity and streaming functionality by directly connecting to access points installed in the home or enterprise environments without requiring an additional hub or bridge. The complete end-to-end sensor-to-cloud solution can be integrated into IoT devices such as smart locks and video cameras, enabling capabilities such as long-range presence detection and short-range (less than 1 meter) face detection or user authentication prior to granting access (e.g., releasing the lock). The solution can be enhanced to support Matter functionality by leveraging the Matter protocol stack running on Talaria TWO.
“TDK InvenSense is happy to collaborate with InnoPhase IoT to create compelling IoT solutions for Smart Homes and Smart Building applications,” said Sahil Choudhary, Head of Marketing and Business Strategy for IoT sensors at TDK InvenSense. “With TDK InvenSense’s Smartsonic™ ultra-low-power and long-range ultrasonic time of flight sensor and InnoPhase IoT’s lowest power WIFI + BLE solutions, we can together address key use-cases such as presence detection, security, and surveillance, ensuring sustainable living in smart homes and buildings.”
“We are pleased to collaborate with TDK Invensense and drive the growth of sustainability in smart IoT applications for the home, enterprise, and industrial segments,” said Wiren Perera, President and COO of InnoPhase IoT. “The combined innovation in energy and cost efficiencies together with seamless provisioning and exceptional user capabilities in presence detection and access control will usher in a new generation of products and services for IoT.”
The fully integrated software SDK includes a mobile application enabling seamless Wi-Fi device provisioning over BLE. A pre-packaged software application for posting data to cloud service providers and flexible APIs allowing developers to modify Wake Up, Keep Alive, and data posting intervals to optimize battery life are also included. Typical use cases can achieve 5+ years of battery life. A variety of design partner options help reduce time-to-development and time-to-market for OEMs and ODMs, permitting a concept-to-market launch range of 6-9 months.
TDK InvenSense ICU-30201 and InnoPhase IoT Talaria TWO EVK are available now.
