The partnership enhances “Vison as a Sensor” applications by enabling flexibility and freedom of placement through an extremely low power, completely wire-free solution. The combination of battery-based video, Wi-Fi cloud connectivity, and AI processing will create new innovative applications and services. Baby monitors, security cameras, video doorbells, access control, and identity verification will benefit from the new vision solution that exceeds battery lifetime and performance expectations.
“The remarkable power efficiency of InnoPhase‘s wireless modules combined with Ingenic’s industry-leading T31 video processor will truly be a game-changer for our joint customers,” said Wiren Perera, Vice President and the General Manager of IoT Business Unit at InnoPhase. “Ingenic’s processors support sophisticated Artificial Intelligence deep models for object detection. The power saved by our wireless modules is put to excellent use by these models.”
The T31 Smart Video Application Processor is designed for video devices like mobile cameras, security surveys, video and voice communication, and video analysis. The SoC features an innovative architecture to fulfill high-performance computing and high-quality image and video encoding requirements addressed by video devices.
The Talaria TWO platform offers the industry’s lowest-power solution to support single-band (2.4GHz) 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 (including long-range options) wireless standards. Its exceptionally low, always-connected current (57µA @ DTIM10), enables a new class of battery-powered, direct-to-cloud devices for IoT markets such as smart home and surveillance, asset trackers, smart buildings, and industrial equipment maintenance.
