Qualcomm Launches Mesh Network Platform: Solving Smart Home Networking Problems

OFweek smart home network news In the trend of smart home, your home's mobile phone, refrigerator, washing machine, doorbell need to be networked, connectivity is also varied, including Bluetooth, WiFi, power lines, etc., the family's network environment is increasingly complex, from This derived signal coverage, unified management, security and other issues have seriously affected the consumer's experience. Survey shows that nearly 60% of consumers have frequent problems in their home network. They urgently need to change the status quo, and the market has always lacked a solution that can bring a variety of robust connections.

To cater to this problem, Qualcomm announced its Mesh Networking Platform and reference design at the 2017 Taipei Computer Show. The platform ensures the sound connection of multiple devices and also provides voice control, centralized management, and security protection. OEMs can design a variety of smart products based on this, such as smart routers, smart home control, and similar devices. Smart sound for Amazon echo and more.

Qualcomm's solution is based on the IPQ40x8/9 network system-on-chip. It integrates WiFi-SON technology and features self-configuration and management, self-defense, and self-healing. Specifically, this technology can make intelligent choices between WiFis in multiple frequency bands based on factors such as equipment and environment, and proactively defend against threatened connections. Even if a connection is interrupted, automatic connection repair can be performed. Human intervention, more intelligent. At the same time, IPQ40x8/9 network system-level chips also support advanced technologies such as Bluetooth 4.0 and ZigBee, and are suitable for various activities. Without too many bridges, all devices can be directly connected to fully satisfy the connection of multiple intelligent terminals.

In addition, Qualcomm also integrated a DSP in the IPQ40x8/9 to enable speech-recognition correlation operations and support six microphone arrays. Based on this OEM can create a more intelligent and personalized product, such as a smart router, he can achieve similar to Amazon echo function, whispered "Hello Alexa" can wake it up to serve you, is not it cool?

After implementing the specific design of the mesh network platform, Qualcomm also demonstrated a mesh network router, but instead of referring to a router, we would call it a “smart home center” because it can satisfy the connection of all smart devices in the home. , support voice manipulation, and can be unified management of smart terminals through a certain API.

In a concrete demonstration, the user only needs to pre-set instructions to the router, and the router will operate a networked device at home to perform a series of actions. For example, when the user says "Alexa, give me a morning motivation", the room lights will gradually open, along with the sound of the sound of music, the coffee machine at home has started to make you a coffee, very comfortable. Since this device is still in the demo stage, there will be a certain delay in speech recognition and subsequent actions on the remote control, and it will be somewhat sensitive to environmental noise and will gradually improve in the subsequent stages. Currently, brands including TP-LINK, Samsung, Google, Linksys, NEGERERA and Asustek are all collaborating with Qualcomm and are expected to launch related mesh network products.

Finally, borrow a quote from Rahul Patel, senior vice president and general manager of connection technology at Qualcomm Technologies: In order to realize the vision of smart home, Qualcomm launched relevant platforms and solutions in the hope that it can meet the needs of consumers and lead the development of this industry. At the same time, it also hopes to lead the industry in order to innovate the consumer experience.
