Compared to the big world of Big Data, the emerging Small Data world will be much more massive and many times larger in total numbers and complexity. By Cees Links, GreenPeak Technologies

GreenPeak Technologies has posted a whitepaper regarding the oncoming war between ZigBee and the latest version of Bluetooth - Bluetooth Mesh. The whitepaper explores the confusion and damage created by previous battles between home networking standards and how this damage can and should be avoided in the near future.

Supporting voice control, motion sensing and the ZRC 2.0 protocol, the GP565 Smart Home radio chip allows the total control of the Smart Home. Available in two versions with 120k or 248k Flash (and 8k or 16k RAM) memory, Green Peak's chip for remote controls is optimised for advanced, yet low cost, ZigBee RF4CE remote controls.

A series of patented multi-stack low-power radio chips, which support Thread's IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY protocol, have been released by GreenPeak Technologies. This is an IoT and Smart Home standardisation effort, as many other manufacturers within the industry are supporting this protocol, along with a 2.4GHz band, which the GP71x series also supports.

GreenPeak Technologies has created a new white paper that details how Small Data, the tiny bits of information collected from billions of small sentrollers (sensors, controllers and actuators) in homes, offices, factories, cars, in all corners of the environment, will create a repository of information that will transform lives and generate entire new business sectors.

A USI ZigBee module, enabling swift implementation with minimal integration efforts for a quick time to market, has been developed through a partnership between Universal Scientific (USI) and GreenPeak Technologies. The module allows Smart Home device developers and manufacturers to quickly and economically upgrade their sensor devices by adding ZigBee technology.

GreenPeak Technologies has announced a further strengthening of its commitment to the Chinese market, increasing its business presence and activities throughout this region.

Examining the importance of industry standards in wireless communication applications. By Cees Links, CEO & Founder of GreenPeak Technologies.

GreenPeak Technologies today announced it will demonstrate a full suite of innovative Smart Home showcases at IBC 2013. Highlights at the booth are GreenPeak’s successful deployments in low cost and long battery-life ZigBee sensor applications as rolled out by major cable and satellite operators.

As virtually all cable operators and broadband service suppliers are starting to offer Smart Home services to their subscribers and have chosen ZigBee as the wireless communication standard, there will be an almost insatiable demand for affordable and easy to install Smart Home devices that connect to the set-top box. Device developers are just starting to recognize this great opportunity to offer all types of different Smart Home devices at very...

Operators will now be able to offer Smart Home service offerings at a very low cost for services like home monitoring, energy monitoring and con...

GreenPeak Technologies has today posted a new White Paper called “Sentrollers and the Internet of Things”. In this paper Sentrollers are defined as a new, all-encompassing term for sensors, actuators and controllers – the various devices that make up the new Internet of Things. The white paper also describes the important role of ZigBee, the technology of choice for the Smart Home, as the crucial enabler for the development of the Internet ...

GreenPeak Technologies announce the year of ZigBee. Worldwide, GreenPeak and other ZigBee semiconductor suppliers are now shipping millions of ZigBee chips every week, making ZigBee the only credible open worldwide standard for the smart home supported by cable and satellite operators and other companies playing in the smart home space.

GreenPeak Technologies has introduced a new generation of ZigBee transceivers containing a sophisticated coexistence scheme that allows Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee chips to work side by side in the same device. The GP501 ZigBee radio chip also contains Deep Packet Inspection allowing deep sleep modes of set-top boxes and other host devices by means of Wake-on-LAN messages.

GreenPeak Technologies today announces the establishment of a new European office in the Paris region. “Expanding our global presence with a dedicated European office is part of our commitment to deliver superior products and service to our European based clients.” says Cees Links, founder and CEO of GreenPeak Technologies.
