Major Semiconductor Company to Support New ONE-NET Open-Source
Wireless Control Standard With Their Industry-Leading Microcontrollers
PETALUMA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
ONE-NET announced today that Freescale Semiconductors has joined
the ONE-NET open-source wireless networking alliance. Freescale joins
a growing list of companies supporting the ONE-NET wireless standard.
"We are excited that Freescale will be supporting ONE-NET with their
excellent line of microcontrollers," said James Martin, CEO of
Threshold Corporation, and a founding member of the ONE-NET alliance.

The ONE-NET wireless standard is the world's foremost
multi-vendor, open source wireless control protocol. Even though
ONE-NET is the lowest-cost wireless control solution, it features a
high level of security, excellent range, and low power consumption.
ONE-NET's comprehensive design specification is distributed
royalty-free, accelerating the availability and use of wireless
connectivity in a wide variety of devices and applications. Source
code examples for microcontrollers, schematics, and bills-of-materials
for reference designs are readily available, and simple open-source
licensing rules apply.

ONE-NET can be implemented with a variety of off-the-shelf
wireless transceivers and microcontrollers from leading vendors such
as Micrel, Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, Semtech, RF Monolithics,
Integration Associates, Silicon Labs, Renesas, and now, Freescale.
