(firmenpresse) - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN and GENEVA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/12/13 -- Thingsquare, a pioneering provider of open-source software for the Internet of Things, and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, have cooperated to bring Thingsquare Mist Internet-connectivity software to ST's on the .
Thingsquare Mist is a game-changing software system that brings true Internet-connectivity to the Internet of Things. Used in connected-home products, smart lighting systems, and smart city projects, Thingsquare Mist builds on well-known open-source components, has a small memory footprint, low computational requirements, is battle-proven, and works with multiple microcontrollers with a range of radios.
ST's is a very low-power RF transceiver, intended for RF wireless-sensor node applications in the sub-1 GHz band, such as Automatic Meter Infrastructure, alarm and security systems, home and building automation, and industrial monitoring and control. The uses a very small number of discrete external components, integrates an embedded 'listen-before-talk' (CSMA/CA) engine and an AES 128-bit encryption co-processor for secure data transfer.
The transceiver works in tandem with ST's ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller series, which boasts ultra-low-power consumption with no compromise on performance. The microcontroller adds a wide range of integrated peripherals like USB, analog-to-digital converter and LCD controller that make it suitable for industrial, consumer, fitness, and healthcare applications.
