Ten product combinations create a smart life "core" realm [Smart City]
In April 2022, Renesas successfully acquired Celeno, an outstanding Wi-Fi chip supplier, and based on Celeno's excellent Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6/6E chipsets and Renesas' rich product series, launched a successful portfolio of ten products covering three major areas: smart cities, factory automation, and communication infrastructure. In this article, we will introduce three solutions for smart cities.
Digital signage is a new media concept that can combine wireless networks with multimedia technology, publish media information through large-screen terminal display devices, and interact with customers in a timely manner. With the development of smart cities, this kind of digital signage has spread to every corner of the city.
The Renesas wireless digital signage solution is a highly integrated solution that combines Wi-Fi 5 2x2 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless communications with high-end RZ/G2H microprocessor units and Imagination Technologies PowerVR GPUs. It has multiple interfaces that support various displays, making it easy for users to connect to different displays. And through optimized power modules, it can also provide good power management for the system to reduce power costs and extend service life. At the same time, the modular Wi-Fi design can also save overall system costs and can easily adjust the design according to customer needs and infrastructure requirements.

Driven by the wave of science and technology, AI vision and speech recognition technologies have taken root in more and more application scenarios. From security monitoring to office automation to robot applications, AI vision and speech recognition technologies can not only improve the interaction experience between people and machines, but also increase the security of the system.
The Renesas AI vision and voice recognition solution integrates the Renesas Electronics RZ/V2M visual AI microprocessor unit (MPU), a high-performance compact low-power Bluetooth module, and the Syntiant Co. NDP120 low-power, multi-modal, multi-functional neural decision processor™ (NDP), which can provide the system with advanced voice and image processing capabilities. In addition, based on powerful functional support, this solution has the function of always staying online, which can be triggered by voice to quickly activate the machine from standby mode to perform target recognition, facial recognition and other vision-based tasks, which are key functions in security cameras and other automation systems.

This multimodal architecture makes it easier to create a touchless user experience for vision-AI-based systems.
Using a dedicated energy-saving chip for speech recognition can speed up speech recognition while reducing standby power consumption.
Promote system development because it is possible to develop software independent of visual AI functions.
The RZ/V2M's built-in power sequence control makes power supply design easier while improving reliability.
High-performance Wi-Fi 5 and compact, high-performance Bluetooth low energy modules.
The popularity and application of wireless networks have given video recorders a new concept. With the help of wireless network communication, it can monitor the environment in real time, allowing you to know the situation on site even if you are thousands of miles away.
The Renesas wireless network video recorder solution uses the Renesas RZ/G2N MPU, integrates the low-power Bluetooth module DA14531 and an excellent battery management system, etc. This solution can record videos (up to 4K) to a hardware drive using SATA or PCIe communication, and supports Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections, allowing users to view real-time video and video playback online anytime, anywhere.
