LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ring, creator of the Ring™ Video Doorbell, and GainSpan, an innovator in wireless connectivity solutions for the rapidly emerging Internet of Things ("IoT"), today announced from the 2015 International CES that GainSpan will equip the Ring Video Doorbell with its GS2011MIE module, making it the world's first Wi-Fi-enabled, battery-operated, HD video doorbell.
GainSpan's GS2000 based modules provide a quick, easy and cost-effective way for Ring to add Wi-Fi connectivity to its video doorbell.

In addition, the Ring Video Doorbell application code can run on the GS2000 thanks to its highly integrated, extensive networking stack and the large memory.
James Siminoff, inventor and CEO of Ring, said: "We are pleased to partner with GainSpan to equip the Ring Video Doorbell, the world's first battery-operated, HD video doorbell, with low latency, power efficient and reliable Wi-Fi. The GainSpan module is a vital component in making our device the best performing and most efficient doorbell on the market today."
