Dialog Semiconductor claims these are the world's first family of IC-based devices that are interoperable with the DECT ULE (ultra low energy) wireless standard. The IC-based SC14WSMDATA (data) and SC14WSMDECT (data and audio) wireless sensor nodes run for up to 10 years on a single AAA battery pack. The SC14CVMDECT basestation device can be integrated into standalone hub products or Internet gateways. Products with SmartPulse wireless sensors self-configure to connect with a home's DECT ULE-enabled hub device or IP gateway for home automation, healthcare, security or energy monitoring can be managed remotely via a smartphone, laptop or tablet PC. The DECT ULE standard is backwards compatible; the sensor nodes communicate with legacy DECT-enabled hubs and Internet gateways from multiple manufacturers, with a software update.
