Media Alert: ARM Announces Acquisition of Wicentric and Sunrise Micro Devices
16 April 2015 - 6:00PM
Business Wire
ARM today announced the acquisition of Wicentric, a Bluetooth®
Smart stack and profile provider, and Sunrise Micro Devices (SMD),
a provider of sub-one volt Bluetooth radio intellectual property
(IP). Terms of the agreements have not been disclosed. The IP of
both companies will be integrated to form the ARM® Cordio™
portfolio. This portfolio will complement ARM’s existing processor
and physical IP targeting end markets requiring low-power wireless
communications such as the Internet of Things (IoT).
- Wicentric is a privately held provider
of Bluetooth Smart software solutions focused on enabling the
development of low-power wireless products. Their product line
includes Bluetooth protocol stack and profiles for creating
interoperable smart products and the link layer for silicon
integration.
- SMD is a privately held provider of
radio IP solutions including a pre-qualified, self-contained radio
block and related firmware to simplify radio deployment. Central to
all SMD radios is native sub-one volt operation. Operating below
one volt enables the radio to run much longer on batteries or
harvested energy.
The ARM Cordio portfolio is available for immediate
licensing.
