GainSpan demonstrates SEP 2.0 over Wi-Fi

GainSpan recently demonstrated multiple technologies at the Wi-Fi Smart Energy Forum, showcasing how the company's low-power Wi-Fi solutions will enable tomorrow's smart energy market. The event was the first public demonstration of Smart Energy Profile (SEP) 2.0. As SEP 2.0 is an application layer that is PHY and MAC agnostic, it could also run on Homeplug or Zigbee.

組み込み向けでもIEEE 802.11n対応、GainSpanがWi-Fiモジュールの新品種発売 (in Japanese)

米国に本社を構える無線通信関係のベンチャー企業であるGainSpanは、「IEEE 802.11b/g/n」に対応した無線LAN（Wi-Fi）モジュール「GS1500M」を発売した（図1）。

同社は、無線LAN対応ながら利用シーンによってはZigBeeに匹敵するほど消費電力が低いことや、機器への組み込みが容易であることを特徴にした無線LANモジュールを提供してきた（関連記事）。ただ、同社がこれまで提供してきた無線LANモジュール「GS1011M」は、「IEEE 802.11b」だけに準拠しており、IEEE 802.11規格の最新版である「IEEE 802.11n」には対応していなかった。GS1500Mは、同社として今回初めてIEEE 802.11nに対応した品種である。

GainSpan Announces Successful Integration of GS1011MIP Wi-Fi Module with STMicroelectronics 8/32-bit MCU

GainSpan's GS1011MIP Wi-Fi module is the ideal solution to enable fast development of Wi-Fi enabled devices. It includes a full Wi-Fi stack including WPS for easy provisioning, Over-The-Air firmware update, optional networking stack and services and 802.11i security. In the demonstration, the networking stack and security reside on the GS1011MIP offloading the MCU from all Wi-Fi and networking functions, while the host MCU handles the application and connects to the Wi-Fi module over UART or SPI interfaces using AT commands. The Wi-Fi module also features an ultra low power SoC that consumes just a few µA of standby current and has a wake-up latency of only a few ms, which is ideal for battery operated devices requiring years of battery life.

Wi-Fi: Leading the Way in Enabling the "Internet of Things"

A new dimension has been added to the world of information and communication technologies: from anytime, anyplace connectivity for anyone, we will now have connectivity for anything. Connections will multiply and create an entirely new dynamic network of networks - an "Internet of Things."

GainSpan Wants Your Fridge to Use Wi-Fi

GainSpan, maker of wireless chips and sensors for the new connected home, debuted a fresh line of hardware and software today: ultra low-power All-in-One GS1011M Wi-Fi modules that can easily be embedded into household appliances. The launch could very well propel the company to the top of the emerging smart grid and home automation industries.
