GreenPeak Technologies Showcases Multi-Channel Radio Chip

The device supports both ZigBee and Thread protocols.

At this year’s Consumer Electronic Show, GreenPeak Technologies showcased its single radio multi-protocol and multi-channel chipset for ZigBee and Thread networks. This solution, the company states, offers a cost-optimized and future-proof solution that can combine these communication protocols for connected home applications.

The GP712 is the industry’s first radio communication controller to support both ZigBee and Thread protocols in a single device. It allows for simultaneous listening on different channels for both ZigBee and Thread packets using a single radio, the company states. It simultaneously supports up to three protocols in a concurrent and transparent way on different channels and allows combining ZigBee PRO, ZigBee RF4CE and Thread.

“There is an increasing demand from the industry and our customers to add the Thread protocol to gateways and set-top boxes,” says Cees Links, CEO and founder of GreenPeak Technologies. “The Thread protocol is gaining momentum, accelerating and fostering growth in IoT, and providing tremendous value for businesses and consumers. By supporting the current leading Smart Home protocols in one multi-channel radio chip, we offer a future-proof platform for gateways and set-top boxes. Our customers’ gateways are ready to support a whole new breed of connected devices for the home.”
