Qualcomm Brings New Wi-Fi Solution and Software Ecosystem Support to Enhance Development for the Internet of ThingsTAIPEI, Taiwan, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced at COMPUTEX 2016 that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., is extending its flagship QCA401x connectivity solutions with a new product. The new QCA4012 chip brings dual band Wi-Fi, enhanced security, low power, and a small size at a price point that best supports the development of connected devices. Qualcomm Technologies also announced the expansion of the QCA401x software ecosystem to include support for HomeKit™, Google Weave™ and AllJoyn®, as well as new cloud providers. Premier Wi-Fi Connectivity Solution for the IoT
Software Ecosystem Support for Wi-Fi Solutions In addition, Qualcomm Technologies is providing developers with technical tools and community enablement to hlp them develop new and innovative solutions for the IoT and accelerate commercialization. Based on the QCA401x software development kit, cloud service providers such as Ayla, Exosite and IOTA Labs have developed solutions that include cloud agents, API interfaces and other tools to support integration with IoT clouds. Furthermore, Silex and various other ODMs are working on hardware platforms based on QCA4012. Silex, Lite-on, WNC and WISOL also continue to work with the single-band QCA4010 introduced last year. For additional product information and updates, please go to https://developer.qualcomm.com/get-started/internet-of-things. "Ayla's IoT agent support of the QCA401x means that anyone creating connected products using the Qualcomm Technologies IoT processor can connect directly to the Ayla IoT cloud," said Bill Podrasky, vice president of business development, Ayla Networks. "This collaboration between Qualcomm Technologies and Ayla further simplifies and reduces costs while accelerating time to market for manufacturers creating connected things, including smaller-scale IoT products, such as wearables." "We are pleased to join forces with Qualcomm Technologies as a IoT cloud partner at Computex 2016 for the QCA401x product family," said Hans Rempel, chief executive officer, Exosite. "Exosite's reliable, secure and scalable IoT platform and business transformation services help companies add connectivity to new and legacy products and bring them to market quickly." "IOTA Labs has developed cutting edge IoT solutions integrating Qualcomm Technologies' latest products with the IOTA Labs platform," said Amit Singh, director and co-founder, IOTA Labs. "IOTA Labs's leading edge IoT platform and experience acts as an accelerator for clients to transform their offerings into leading smarter products and services with a lower cost of ownership." "Silex is very excited about launching the SX-ULPGN, a QCA401x based cost-effective, ultra-low power MCU + Wi-Fi® pre-certified (FCC/IC/CE) module ideal for IoT/IoE applications," said Keith Sugawara, vice president of business development, Silex America. "Using SX-ULPGN's hostless mode, device manufacturers can develop complete IoT/IoE solutions with Wi-Fi connectivity without an external MCU at a cost effective price point. Using our UART AT command option, they can quickly add a serial-to-Wi-Fi converter for existing MCU based designs without porting any host driver."
