InnoPhase WiFi chip-set for cloud-connected video

InnoPhase has brought out a Wi-Fi chip-set for cloud-connected IP video IoT devices.

Applications include battery-operated video cameras, smart video doorbells, wearables, smart appliances, home security cameras and in-vehicle dashboard monitoring devices.

Dubbed Talaria TWO, it features for video use-cases include:


. Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for easy provisioning


. Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Wi-Fi at BLE power levels

.  Complete networking TCP-IP stack on integrated controller enables low latency, always ON cloud connectivity and eliminates image loss issues

.  Robust throughput under noisy conditions; supports up to 2K camera resolution<

Untethered wireless cloud connectivity and long battery life are two major design barriers for video IoT.

Only approximately 10% of video cameras, for example, are currently battery-operated primarily due to battery life limitations of 3-6 months, says InnoPhase.

Moving to a wireless format, however, has so far been problematic, as ubiquitous Wi-Fi is inherently power hungry, rapidly draining video camera’s batteries.

“We offer a complete solution including hardware, software, integration, certification and cloud connectivity that’s available now for evaluation, production and deployment,” says  Innophase President Wiren Perera.

A reference kit includes hardware and software integration with an image signal processor (ISP), cloud connectivity software and access to original design manufacturers
