The two companies will jointly market and develop ZigBee software, an integrated systems on chips (SoCs), and smart transceivers.
The collaboration would enhance Maxim’s current smart grid solutions, including its recently announced smart-meter SoC, Zeus.
Maxim smart grid products business director Kris Ardis said, "Maxim supports a variety of standards-based communication solutions including ZigBee. By collaborating with RadioPulse on our Zeus platform, we ensure that customers have innovative, highly integrated, and very secure smart grid solutions."
RadioPulse, a wireless network technology provider, offers ZigBee-based total solutions for a broad range of applications.
