1 Wireless networks that make sense Low-energy semiconductor solutions for wireless sensor networks

2 Technology benefits Ultra-low-energy technology based on proven DECT standard Ultra-long standby time Long range: 50 m indoors and 300 m outdoors (up to 10 km using directional antennas) Operates in interference-free DECT band Secure. real-time data transfer Can handle data, voice and video The right choice for wireless networks The Dialog difference Proven expertise in wireless networks Co-developer of the DECT ULE standard Fully type approved modules including antenna Fully tested and TBR-6 / FCC certified modules Easy-to-use, open-source development environment Wireless networking makes life easier, safer, more comfortable and more secure. This emerging, fast-growing market covers applications ranging from machine-to-machine communication for controlling industrial equipment to remote healthcare monitoring and smart homes. The applications may be very different, but the networking requirements are very similar: reliable, long-range communication between autonomous nodes with long battery lifetimes. You can find all these characteristics and more in DECT ULE. Designed specifically for wireless networking, DECT ULE is an ultra-low energy version of the DECT standard that has been field proven in more than 250 million households. It delivers all the benefits of DECT, including interference-free communication, long range, excellent voice quality, plug-and-play installation and data rates that support voice, data and video. Plus, it allows typical sensor applications to run for years on a single AAA battery. As co-developers of DECT ULE, Dialog makes it easy for you to integrate reliable wireless networking into your sensor node application. You ll find DECT ULE implemented in our fully type approved wireless sensor modules, offering easy design-in and short time to market. They integrate all the hardware and software you need, including the antenna. So you can just drop them into your application no RF expertise or resources required for design or production ramp up

3 Software DECT ULE protocol software All our DECT ULE hardware (modules and single-chip ICs) is supplied with complete DECT ULE protocol software as object code. This software provides all the high-level networking functionality. You can configure a number of protocol parameters (such as wake-up times) either via an AT command set or directly through the Application Programming Interface (API). SC14WSMDECT embedded Hardware platform DECT ULE s long range means it can handle most wireless sensor networking applications using a simple star configuration. That avoids the complexity of creating a mesh or carefully placed repeaters. Our wireless sensor modules are the ideal networking choice for sensor nodes. These drop-in modules combine a transceiver, baseband, power amplifier and antenna as well as complete protocol and application interface software in one compact package. You can choose between two types of wireless sensor module depending on your application needs: data-only and voice-and-data. AT driver Customer Code AT command set For the network controller, let one of our cordless voice modules handle your networking needs. They offer the same level of integration as a wireless sensor module. Simply combine it with a host processor for controllers in standalone networks or a PSTN fixed part to add communication with the outside world. Voice/sensor/HAL ^API In addition, our flexible VoIP processors offer an easy route for creating IP basestations that connect networks to the internet. They can be used with our drop-in modules, allowing you to develop solutions without requiring RF knowledge, or with our standalone DECT transceivers for high-volume applications. For connected smart home applications, we offer a number of solutions for Integrated Access Devices that combine sensor networking with cordless telephony, digital TV delivery and Wi-Fi in a single box (see our IAD brochure for more details)

4 Development tools Choose a Dialog solution and you are choosing a solution that comes with all the support you need to bring your product to market fast. The extensive range of support available includes tools developed by SiTel as well as third-party vendors. Development kits To help accelerate your product creation cycle, we offer complete development kits for all our wireless sensor and cordless voice modules. These development kits include two development boards (featuring a module, various interfaces, power connector and headset socket), two additional modules, a headset and USB cables. You also get demonstration software, application examples and the Athena IDE, enabling rapid application creation. Athena IDE The Athena Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an easy-to-use, open-source toolset for creating new application software. It features an Eclipse-based IDE, a GNU C/C++ compiler and linker, and a code download and verification tool all preconfigured and tested to work straight out of the box. Applications Utility metering Remote metering Wireless local loop Equipment control Healthcare Personal Help Button (PHB) (healthcare alarms for the elderly) Medical monitoring Activity monitoring Assisted living services e.g. fall detection Security Smoke / fire detector and alarm system Burglar alarm (with automatic police notification) Alarm buttons with voice Door entry system Surveillance system Home automation Climate control (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning system) Internet controlled home appliances Home control display 6 7
