Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB) announced the acquisition of leading suppliers of wireless network modules Telegesis. It is a private company located in 1998. It applies Silicon Labs, leading ZigBee® technology, implements strong development in the intelligent energy market and has become ZigBee experts, providing ZigBee module solutions for many world-class smart meters manufacturers.
This strategic acquisition can accelerate the layout of Silicon Labs in the field of Zigbee and Thread-Ready modules, enhance support for the integrated network solutions required for customers, including the best 802.15.4 software stacks and development tools. The system chip (SOC) and a plug-and-play module. The TeleGesis module integrates an antenna and provides pre-certified RF design, reducing certification costs, compliance requirements and shortening time. Customers can then migrate from modules to cost-effective system chip (SOC) design, which can reduce system update design and existing software can be used.
The ZigBee module market is large and growing. According to IHS Technology, 20% of all Zigbee Pro chips are used in modules, while the shipments of ZigBee modules are expected to increase speed at 24.6% per year until 2019.
TeleGeSIS fully uses Silicon Labs ZigBee technology in module products, and its products are deployed in smart meters, USB adapters, and gateways for intelligent energy applications. Other target applications include home automation, connectivity lighting, safety products, and industrial automation. The module is equipped with Silicon Labs, which has been strictly tested and on-site verification EMBERZNETPRO ZigBee protocol stack, which improves the Reliability of ZigBee protocol stack, which has higher deployment in various types of connection products, which has been higher than any other Zigbee Pro protocol stack product. TeleGesis also helps developers simplify the application based on ZigBee technology, providing a comprehensive development and evaluation kit.
James Stansberry, General Manager of Silicon Labs, General Manager, General Manager, said: "Telegesis successful module business strengthens the leader in Silicon Labs in the Internet of Things Network Solutions market. Combine Telegesis's module, Silicon Labs SOC, Best 802.15.4 Software Stack and the easy-to-use wireless development tool, can provide customers with seamless migration paths from modules to SOC and from ZigBee to Thread-based network. "
The leadership in the ZigBee module market can provide beneficial supplements for Silicon Labs for 11 years of related experience in development, certification, and sale based on standard mesh network solutions. As a strategic partner, both companies can share 802.15.4 mesh network technology, but even include the certification process.
Ollie Smith, Ollie Smith, Ollie Smith, Business Development, TELEGESIS, said: "Telegesis is very happy to be an indispensable part of the Silicon Labs team. Through the integration of both parties, our hardware and software engineering teams will promote the innovation of wireless network technology, while making customers flexible Select the module or SoC to complete the design and make full use of ZigBee and Thread technology. "
Terms and regulations
Silicon Labs completed the acquisition of TeleGesis at approximately $ 20 million in cash prices on November 20, 2015. In 2015, the remaining fourth quarter of the 2015, the 2016 accounting year, the acquisition of TELEGESIS expected income contribution is approximately 8 million to 10 million US dollars. Silicon Labs estimates, based on non-US General Accounting Standards (Non-GAAP), this acquisition helps micro-enhance the company's value per share, including about 20 Telegesis employees.
