Sigma Designs Launches Feature-Rich Z-Wave SDK
Robust Platform Reduces Install Times and Enhances Network Statistics With 30 New Features
(firmenpresse) - MILPITAS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/23/15 -- ® (NASDAQ: SIGM), a leading provider of intelligent system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for Smart TV, Internet of Things (IoT) for Smart Home and set-top-boxes (STBs), today announced the launch of Version 6.6 software development kit which includes advanced system diagnostics and enhancements to the Installation and Maintenance Application () tool that is widely used to shorten installation time for service providers. The new SDK delivers tools to enable more efficient installations and has the foundation to support UL approval using the enhancements to the received signal strength indicator.
Z-Wave enabled Smart Home Lifestyle features are creating momentum in the Telco and security industries and have created new revenue streams and profits for those sectors. According to Tom Kerber, Director of Research at Parks Associates "Z-Wave is the dominant technology in the leading channel providing smart home control systems, the security channel. In 2014, over 30% of new professionally monitored security systems were installed with a home control device."
Market-leading Z-Wave technology, with some 40M interoperable devices already deployed in homes around the world, is addressing this accelerating adoption with 30 new features in V6.6 SDK to speed install time and create a more robust remote management environment. With 10''s of thousands of Z-Wave enabled panels being installed each month in the monitored security vertical, the ability to keep install time to a minimum and to access diagnostics remotely without a truck roll not only saves time and money for the service providers, but results in more satisfied customers.
Key Features:
Enhanced network statistics
Signal strength feedback for optimal network health status
More accurate identification of traffic disruption causes for faster repairs
Improved node communication visibility for faster resolution of any network communication issues
Easier commissioning and de-commissioning of devices
"Sigma Designs has just reported the best quarter ever for their Z-Wave product line, largely driven by this fast-moving security sector. By listening to our customers, we are able to provide tools to improve their efficiency and demonstrate the synergy by which we work together. It''s one of the key reasons which has led to Z-Wave achieving virtually universal adoption across the entire US security industry,"said Raoul Wijgergangs, vice president Z-Wave IoT business unit at Sigma Designs. "The combination of rock-solid interoperable technology with innovative partner products is what drives our success in the smart home IoT market."
