Empower Smart-Home Applications with Advanced Connectivity

Oct. 15, 2024
Smart homes are finally a reality, and they demand faster communications, increased network capacity, and solution scalability.

Smart homes offer functionality for homeowners to monitor and control a wide range of useful applications while improving energy efficiency and security. Qorvo enables faster communications, increased network capacity, and solution scalability with its latest smart-home and IoT solutions.

Especially useful is the company’s ConcurrentConnect technology, which provides simultaneous operation of single and multi-protocol smart devices over a single home network. 

The company's QPG6100 is a multi-standard Smart Home Communications Controller for ultra-low-power wireless communication. Targeting connected lighting applications, switches, and other smart-home end nodes, it enables Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth Low Energy to operate simultaneously in a single-chip design.

The QPG7015M is presented as the first transceiver with real-time concurrency, allowing for seamless Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh and Zigbee/Thread network management simultaneously. Optimized for Central Hub use cases, it has a novel antenna diversity and isolation scheme that can double the effective range.
