Smart communicating applications using radio frequency

Objective

A highly-integrated, low-cost bidirectional RF transceiver developed using an advanced BiCMOS4 technology, ensuring low power consumption and operation at high frequency.

Tools for RF hardware and application design in the form of development kits and software libraries for a range of microcontrollers.

Equipment and methods for conformance testing in accordance with established standards, to ensure that the RF medium and resulting applications developed on the basis of the RFIC conform with established norms.

A commercial application utilising the new RFIC as its hardware base and providing a means to automate meter reading in the utility industries (electricity, gas, water and heat) and entry into the Home Automation (HA) segments in Europe.

A low-cost, single-chip RF IC transceiver suitable for consumer as well as industrial and commercial applications is to be developed. This component will be accompanied by development tools (in the form of ready-to-use demonstration circuits and software libraries for standard microcontrollers) enabling the development, testing and validation of low power RF applications. The component will be integrated and validated in a commercial application, Automatic Meter Reading, and will demonstrate its viability in the domain of Home Systems in the process. The goal is to reduce the cost and performance barriers to the mass scale implementation of low-power RF applications.
