Linx Technologies joins Thread Group

Clarke & Severn Electronic Solutions

Wednesday, 15 April, 2015

Linx Technologies has joined Thread Group, an industry organisation formed by Yale Security, Silicon Labs, Samsung Electronics, Nest Labs, Freescale Semiconductor, Big Ass Fans and ARM. The consortium is dedicated to market education and product certification for Thread - a low-power, wireless mesh networking protocol designed to easily and securely connect hundreds of devices in the home.

As part of Thread Group, Linx Technologies has received access to the Thread specifications, which are built on open standards and IPv6 technology with 6LoWPAN at its foundation. The company will be able to certify and brand Thread-compliant products starting in the second half of 2015, offering Thread-based Smartlinx gateways and wireless modules for small and medium-volume OEMs.

The Smartlinx platform is Linx’s end-to-end IoT solution for connecting devices to the cloud. The solution includes a device server for managing connections across firewalls, device management features, Android and iOS apps, database storage and a flexible visualisation front-end to analyse and report on data.

Linx has now released its first Smartlinx gateway designed to work with most current Linx modules and remotes. OEMs with existing Linx module designs will have the option to connect their installed base of devices to the internet. A typical application might be to control a device with a smartphone app where that device previously was controlled with a dedicated remote. The gateway thus enables two-way internet communication, control and monitoring of the system using Thread and cloud-based automation.
