See how Qorvo responds to the development of next-generation IoT products
Qorvo has always focused on the development and application of high-power devices. On April 18, 2016, after announcing the acquisition of Internet of Things solution provider GreenPeak Technologies, Qorvo officially entered the low-power market.
After a year of integration and running-in, on May 10, 2017, Cees Links, the father of WiFi and general manager of Qorvo's low power wireless business unit, analyzed the development trend of the next generation of Internet of Things with more than 40 media on the spot under the theme of "Internet of Things - The Next Wave of Connectivity" and gave a detailed introduction on how Qorvo will enter the field of Internet of Things.
From early switches controlling lights and remote controls controlling TVs, to thermostats controlling air conditioners, air conditioners automatically adjusting the temperature after receiving signals from thermostats, and feeding back the results of the adjustments to the thermostats, the Internet of Things is gradually moving from the previous "one-way feedback" to "two-way feedback". This complete management and control system consisting of controllers, actuators, sensors, external databases, etc., constitutes the true Internet of Things.

Cees Links believes that the Internet of Things is not simply connecting objects, but an intelligent management system, and intelligent butler-style services are the true definition and development prospects of the Internet of Things. Only with a complete Internet of Things management system can remote control and management be achieved. Even if people are not at home, they don’t have to worry about problems such as doors not being closed or water pipes leaking.
In the new generation of IoT management systems, Qorvo's IoT products solve the problems of data coverage, big data, and long-distance transmission. They also provide systematic smart butler services and support general and open industry standards such as WiFi, ZigBee&Thread, Bluetooth, and NB-IoT. While ensuring product performance, they reduce device size and make products "small and beautiful", thereby solving the troubles and inconveniences caused by the cumbersome and bulky devices that may be needed when interconnecting things.
At this communication meeting, Cees Links shared the success stories of Qorvo's IoT products, including remote controls, set-top boxes, and WiFi products with COMCAST in the United States, various sensor products with Bosch in Europe, and solutions for elderly care and smart homes with ZTE and TCL in China. Regarding the vision of smart homes, he believes that smart homes will connect all terminals to the network and provide consumers with butler-style services.
Finally, Cees Links said that economic growth is closely related to the growth of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things can help us realize more and greater value and play an increasingly important role. Although the Internet of Things is still in the conceptual stage, we believe that the Internet of Things will bring the next wave and play a vital role in our families, lives and work.
About GP712
Qorvo's radio communication controller chip GP712 allows multiple smart home systems based on the IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard to coexist in the best way, with a single radio supporting standards such as ZigBee 3.0, Thread, ZigBee RF4CE and ZigBee Green Power. True multi-channel support allows the protocol stack to communicate seamlessly on different channels. The chip was released by GreenPeak Technologies (the predecessor of Qorvo's low-power wireless business unit) in early 2016 and is now in production.
About 2.4-5GHz Wi-Fi Front-End Modules (FEMs) Series
The 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi front-end module (FEM) family paves the way for smaller, more energy-efficient wireless routers, gateways and other connected home devices. The seven new FEMs support high-bandwidth output while balancing low power consumption, small size and maximum reliable coverage. The 5 GHz FEMs deliver over 1.2 Gbps throughput per data stream, data rates high enough to support a new generation of home Wi-Fi applications, expanding possibilities for consumers. This includes Quantenna’s True 8x8™ QSR10G Wi-Fi platform – the world’s first 802.11ac 10G Wave 3 Wi-Fi product family.
