(MENAFN- PRLog) Network Thermostat™, a leading provider of connected thermostat solutions for facility energy management and automation (small businesses, K-12 education, hospitality, multi-family, government, retail and restaurant chains, commercial buildings, and light industrial), announced today it has selected DSG Group®, Inc. a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, approving their Ultra-Low Energy (ULE) technology for two of its smart thermostat family of products.
Smart thermostats and intelligent HVAC systems are widely adopted applications within the Internet of Things (IoT). Network Thermostat recognized the benefits of ULE technology: great wireless range with the robustness to pass through multiple walls, ability to connect thousands of nodes to a single base unit, long battery life, and interference-free spectrum band. DSP Group provided Network Thermostat with the ULE technology to integrate into their HVAC platforms, allowing unparalleled range and performance for future wireless remote sensing development such as window/door contacts, refrigeration monitoring, water leak detection, motion sensing, in addition to various temperature and humidity monitoring. Network Thermostat's Wi-Fi and Ethernet thermostat platforms, including its new NetX™ X7 color touch screen, will act as the ULE base station using DSP Group's DHAN-M module ( https://www.dspg.com/dect-ule-products/ ) integrated within the thermostat.
"Adding the DSP Group's ULE technology to our new Wi-Fi and Ethernet NetX™ X7 intelligent HVAC control platforms highlights our commitment to providing best-in-class IoT solutions. The long battery life and robust, interference-free networking allow Network Thermostat to wirelessly deliver secure, critical monitoring and alerting to our customers" said Jerry Drew, CEO at Network Thermostat. "Given the increasing adoption of ULE technology, it was an easy choice to integrate ULE into our NetX™ X7 platform, both for wireless sensors and for the near endless integration possibilities with ULE. New Network Thermostat products utilizing the ULE platform are expected as early as 1st quarter 2020."
"We are excited to announce our partnership with Network Thermostat, furthering the global adoption of ULE that goes beyond smart homes," said Tali Chen, Chief Marketing Officer at DSP Group. "Network Thermostat's Wi-Fi and Ethernet platforms not only provide advanced HVAC functionality but also become the intelligent control center that leverages DSP Group's robust ULE wireless technology. Network Thermostat is one of the first US-based providers that is identifying the ULE benefits and supporting our target of increasing the ULE ecosystem across North America."
DSP Group's ULE technology allows Network Thermostat's intelligent HVAC systems to benefit from the robust technology with a long-proven track record while providing multi-year battery life for the next generation of NT sensors.
