Toumaz focusing on smart living !!

Toumaz's highly integrated connectivity solutions enable smart living DIGITIMES Taipei, Taiwan, 19 July 2011: Toumaz, the leading provider of ultra-low energy wireless telemetry technologies for medical monitoring and internet-connected consumer devices, utilizes its expertise to create valuable connectivity solutions targeting smart living market. In addition to its groundbreaking Sensium Life Platform, vital signs monitoring solution, Toumaz successfully demonstrated its wireless connectivity and internet-connected consumer products solutions at Computex this year. "With more and more devices now capable of using wireless network, the market of smart living grows excessively. Smart meter, wireless home entertainment, and intelligent security are just a few samples of smart living. The key enabler behind the curtain is low power wireless connectivity, and this is what Toumaz is good at." Dr. Charles Lee, General Manager of Toumaz Asia said. "We are working closely with our customers to bring new distinctive smart living products to market." Dr. Lee added. Toumaz's XENIF is a highly integrated SoC that brings Wi-Fi and broadcasting technologies including DAB+/DAB, FM with RDS, and DTV audio altogether. XENIF contains a powerful 400MHz dual-treaded Meta HTP221 processor capable of simultaneously running Linux and performing audio DSP, and because it also includes two UCCP310 baseband DSP processors, the device can process Wi-Fi connectivity and radio, TV or mobile TV demodulation at the same time. XENIF's high level of integration coupled with its programmable processors offer customers the ability to create cost competitive differentiated products. Manufacturers looking for feature-rich platform to develop Wi-Fi connected products, such as home entertainment system, electrical appliances, multimedia player and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) wireless speakers, easily find XENIF the optimal solution. WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) is a disruptive technology for smart living which provides significant added value to a variety of applications, such as infrastructure automation and environmental monitoring. For applications using battery, low power consumption is the major requirement because energy determines the lifetime of WSN. Toumaz's TELRAN TZ1053 is a wireless single chip radio that outperforms competing solutions for its exceptional ultra-low energy (ULE) feature – 3mW in continuous transmit or receive mode and the ability to operate from a single 1V button cell. TELRAN also comprises transceiver, media access controller (MAC) and an 8051 sub-1 GHz compatible microprocessor which benefits developers to significantly reduce development effort. TELRAN is the ultimate low total bill of materials solution for rapid development of applications requiring short range (10-100m) ultra-low power wireless connectivity, such as smart meter, environmental monitoring, body area networks, and security system etc. "Toumaz is committed to provide an extensive connectivity portfolio of highly integrated, low-power and cost-effective solutions to our mobile health and consumer electronics customers."
