Wireless platform unifies AV and home control

The ZW0401 is billed as the Rolls Royce of wireless home control.

Zensys reckons its fourth generation Z-Wave single chip for Unified Home Control is the ideal wireless RF control platform for unifying all AV and home control devices in an interoperable home network.

"The ZW0401 is the Rolls Royce of wireless home control", boasts Tony Shakib, CEO of Zensys.

"By offering superior features such as a wide range of peripherals including Full Speed USB 2.0, 30 general purpose I/Os, ADC, third-generation triac controller, plus integrated IR support for truly universal remotes - and all at the lowest power consumption in the industry - we're making Z-Wave products and OEMs even more competitive".

The ZW0401 provides a global solution without compromising robustness against interference.

It is the only RF single chip that supports both sub1GHz bands and 2.4GHz and thereby enables evading interference altogether.

Thanks to its patented concurrent multichannel support, plus an interference blocking performance that is 100x (over 20dBc) better than in otherwise comparable RF chipsets, the ZW0401 provides a reliable and robust solution even under heavy interference from WLANs in the heavily populated 2.4GHz band.

"The rich additions to the chip's feature sets, further cost reductions, a clear focus on the residential market, plus the vision and leadership in Unified Home Control set Z-Wave apart from any competition", says Kim Scott, Director of Global Wireless Director of Global Wireless for Intermatic, a leading Z-Wave manufacturer.

"With the introduction of the 400-series single chips Zensys extends its lead of more than one chip generation".
