Freescale Joins ONE-NET Alliance

Major Semiconductor Company to Support New ONE-NET Open-Source Wireless Control Standard With Their Industry-Leading Microcontrollers

ONE-NET announced today that Freescale Semiconductors has joined the ONE-NET open-source wireless networking alliance. Freescale joins a growing list of companies supporting the ONE-NET wireless standard. “We are excited that Freescale will be supporting ONE-NET with their excellent line of microcontrollers,” said James Martin, CEO of Threshold Corporation, and a founding member of the ONE-NET alliance.

The ONE-NET wireless standard is the world’s foremost multi-vendor, open source wireless control protocol. Even though ONE-NET is the lowest-cost wireless control solution, it features a high level of security, excellent range, and low power consumption. ONE-NET’s comprehensive design specification is distributed royalty-free, accelerating the availability and use of wireless connectivity in a wide variety of devices and applications. Source code examples for microcontrollers, schematics, and bills-of-materials for reference designs are readily available, and simple open-source licensing rules apply.

ONE-NET can be implemented with a variety of off-the-shelf wireless transceivers and microcontrollers from leading vendors such as Micrel, Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, Semtech, RF Monolithics, Integration Associates, Silicon Labs, Renesas, and now, Freescale.

Freescale Semiconductor is a global leader in the design and manufacture of embedded semiconductors for the automotive, consumer, industrial, networking and wireless markets. Freescale has over 10,000 customers and has shipped more than 18 billion devices for all kinds of products. The privately held company is based in Austin, Texas, and has design, research and development, manufacturing or sales operations in more than 30 countries.
