SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI), today announced
the expansion of viRaTec's MIYO smart irrigation control systems
with IDT® sensor products and the new ZWIR4532 6LoWPAN modules.
With viRaTec's unique smart irrigation algorithm and IDT's high
performance sensor and wireless solutions, the boundary of the
smart home extends to the smart garden.
The low power consumption and small form factor of the ZWIR4532
module makes it ideal for embedding into a variety of portable
battery-operated IoT-connected home and garden automation devices.
IDT's sensors, such as the relative humidity and temperature sensor
and air flow sensor nodes, provide the key platform to any
agriculture and garden IoT solutions.
"Our collaboration with IDT started shortly after the founding
of viRaTec," said Roland Grösslich, CEO of viRaTec GmbH. "We
quickly decided to use IDT's secure wireless modules as we saw a
huge advantage in running our complete application on top of the
6LoWPAN stack. IDT's immediate and continuous support allowed our
small startup company to concentrate on our core idea of smart
irrigation, eliminating the need to develop, test and maintain our
own secure wireless stack. The fully featured Over-the-Air Update
(OTAU) capability enabled us to immediately distribute firmware
upgrades to our customers, including the remote solar-powered
devices."
"We are excited to continue and expand our collaboration with
viRaTec," said Sailesh Chittipeddi,
IDT's executive vice president for global operations and chief
technology officer. "Together with viRaTec, we are adding IDT's
humidity, temperature and flow sensor technology to viRaTec's MIYO
system. The new ZWIR4532 will further reduce both system space and
power consumption of their solar powered devices."
The ZWIR4532 is a complete and fully-featured IoT connectivity
module, incorporating an Arm® microcontroller, a sub-Gigahertz
radio transceiver, and an optional license-free IDT firmware
download. It is an excellent solution for IoT connectivity thanks
to its support for native communication with computers and mobile
devices through IPv6, the ability to create self-healing ad-hoc
mesh networks for covering large areas and long ranges, and secure
connectivity based on open standard security protocols.
IDT's ZWIR4532 6LoWPAN wireless IoT connectivity module,
HS300x relative humidity and temperature sensor, and flow sensor
modules are currently available. Visit idt.com/sensors for more
details or to place orders, or contact your local IDT sales
