CMD will be the authorized sales representative for dresden elektronik´s low power wireless solutions
(OPENPRESS) dresden elektronik (DE), the full service provider for wireless network solutions, and Colorado Micro Devices (CMD) announce a partnership for approaching the US market with wireless solutions made in Germany based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
DE specializes in wireless sensor network solutions based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The solutions stand out with their extremely low power consumption and can be used wherever battery operation is necessary for up to several years. The company's product portfolio includes the world's smallest radio modules, USB radio sticks, development platforms and kits for the evaluation of wireless applications with ZigBee or 6LoWPAN.
CMD is being introduced to sell dresden elektronik's product portfolio on the US market and will provide design and application engineering support for all dresden elektronik products.
"We are really looking forward to the new support from CMD. Especially for our customers in America it will be a significant added value to have personal and direct support," said Lutz Pietschmann, Managing Director at dresden elektronik. "In the United States we see a huge market potential. There are already applications with low power wireless technology, based on the ZigBee profile. On the other hand, in Europe, it is necessary to raise awareness about wireless technology and do some educational work."
"CMD is eager to help introduce these products to the North American market. We believe that DE products represent the finest example of German engineering and craftsmanship available in the IEEE 802.15.4 marketplace," said Eric Gnoske, CEO at Colorado Micro Devices. "The modules, in particular, are only 3 times the size of the SOC itself and come fully certified, ready to drop into a customer's end product and allow them to get to market fast — incredible!"
