DSP Group Launches Production-Ready Module for Industrial IoT Applications

Reduce time-to-market for pre-certified smart city and industrial IoT applications with all-new, sophisticated low-power module


LOS ALTOS, Calif., April 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DSP Group®, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, today announced the immediate availability of its new DHAN-J ULE module based on the company’s DHX91 ULE SoC. The DHAN-J module offers application developers a turn-key platform for Ultra Low Energy (ULE) nodes, both battery and AC-powered.

“We are thrilled to bring to market the latest ULE module in our portfolio, specifically built for robust IoT applications,” said Jochen Kilian VP Core Technology, at DSP Group. “The industry has demanded an ultra-reliable and congestion free solution for industrial and smart building IoT applications and the DHAN-J module will perfectly suit the needs of developers looking to bring the next generation of smart devices to market.”

With its complete hardware, SDK and simple development environment, the DHAN-J significantly shortens the development cycle for OEMs looking to gain a competitive time-to-market advantage in this fast-moving space. Built around the company’s DHX91 SoC, the module can be easily integrated into the smallest smart nodes and can serve as a wireless connectivity channel for applications running on external MCUs, or act as a standalone solution using DHX91’s internal processor. Furthermore, the module has FCC, IC and ETSI regulatory certification, allowing the developer to surpass the hurdles of the RF certification process and significantly shorten the product development cycle.

Applications of DHAN-J are targeted to smart cities and industrial environments but can also be used for home automation, security, monitoring, metering and healthcare. Developers appreciate the simplistic interface for customers as a selling point for their ready-to-use applications, and end users benefit from DECT’s outstanding wireless range and ULE’s lowest power consumption.

“Our new DHAN module offers all the benefits of ULE, including an interference-free band, full home coverage and voice features,” said Jan Abelev, CVP ULE Product Marketing. “The DHAN-J module provides the means for developers to easily integrate the best IoT RF technology on the market, alleviating the need for extensive knowledge of the ULE standard and certifications, reducing effort, cost and development time.”

The new IoT module will be presented at the upcoming ISC West in Las Vegas April 11-13, 2018 at DSP Group’s private meeting room. For an invitation, please contact info@dspg.com

DSP Group’s DHAN-J module (DHX91-DM) is available for immediate purchase. For more information, please visit DSP Group site (www.dspg.com) or designated distributors.
