Industry’s First Multiband, Multiprotocol SoCs Support 2.4 GHz and Sub-GHz Connectivity and a Choice of Standards-Based and Proprietary Protocols
Silicon Labs launched the industry’s first multiband, multiprotocol wireless system-on-chip (SoC) devices for the Internet of Things (IoT) market. The new multiband Wireless Gecko SoCs enable developers to use the same multiprotocol device for operation in 2.4 GHz and multiple sub-GHz bands, simplifying connected device designs, reducing cost and complexity, and speeding time to market. Multiband Wireless Gecko SoCs are ideal for IoT connectivity products in application areas such as building and home automation, smart metering, security, health and fitness monitoring, connected lighting, electronic shelf labels and asset tracking.
The new multiband, multiprotocol Wireless Gecko portfolio features three SoC families optimized for real-world IoT use cases and the most popular wireless protocols:
- Mighty Gecko family – Supports ZigBee, Thread and Bluetooth low energy connectivity at 2.4 GHz and proprietary protocols in both 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz bands
- Blue Gecko family – Supports Bluetooth low energy connectivity at 2.4 GHz and proprietary protocols in both 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz bands
- Flex Gecko family – Supports flexible proprietary wireless protocols in 2.4 GHz and sub-GHz bands for diverse applications
