Qorvo® and ubisys have developed a new ultra-compatible gateway solution. It allows various devices to communicate by integrating a ZigBee® 3.0 and Green Power-based smart home network within the Open Connectivity Foundation IoTivity framework. The open-source IoTivity framework provides specifications for seamless device-to-device connectivity across diverse physical media, transports and application layers. This framework is essential as the number of IoT devices - already in the billions - continues to grow. The Qorvo IoTivity plug-ins will be the first to support a single, multi-stack radio chip. Wireless products - such as the Qorvo GP712 chip - simultaneously handle multiple IoT network layers, including Thread, ZigBee 3.0 with Green Power and RF4CE networks. The highly integrated GP712 simplifies the design of IoT gateways, routers and set-top boxes. By reducing components and antennas, it automatically mitigates the coexistence challenges of multiple IoT networks.
Qorvo, Inc. specializes in the design, production and marketing of radio-frequency components and solutions. In particular, the group makes power amplifiers, embedded modules, selector switches, duplexers, power management devices, wireless connection solutions, frequency convertors, oscillators, couplers and optical components.
Net sales break down by activity as follows:
- mobile terminals and electronic devices (76.3%);
- defense and aeronautics equipment, network infrastructures (23.7%).
At the end of March 2022, the group had 7 production sites located in the United States (3), China (2), Costa Rica and Germany.
Net sales break down geographically as follows: the United States (41.5%), China (32.3%), Taiwan (7.4%), Asia (13.4%) and Europe (5.4%).
