Interesting Chinese article from some months ago re Telink (Tailing in translation) well before Apple partnership but indicative about what was to come.
Suspect that the 'billions of dollars' in last para is a translation error. Probably meant to be 'millions'!
[Original] Tailing recommended microelectronics: Bluetooth mesh field popped one China "dark horse"
This year, the Bluetooth SIG has announced may contain Bluetooth 5.0 standard Bluetooth, including mesh, mesh in the field of Bluetooth, the international giants scrambling to express their technology, CSR unpaid donate their technology, Nordic, Dialog, Broadcom, also has its own unique technology, when we kill in full swing, a local company come to the fore, and it is the Tailing Microelectronics, Intel obtained a capital injection company, their technology is able to do different? GE and other large companies to obtain the favor?
"Tailing Microelectronics (TELINK) Bluetooth mesh technology in volume production, access to GE and other large companies use." In the February 25 Intel maker space and create off the accelerator Roadshow Carnival, I ran into Tailing Microelectronics the Dr. Sheng Wenjun, he introduced Tailing of mesh technology, "Bluetooth mesh, we have two important patents, without these two patents, Bluetooth mesh equipment equal to furnishings, so many companies using our products."
Dr. Sheng Wenjun currently Tailing Microelectronics Corporation chairman and chief executive officer. Tailing Microelectronics is a provider of industry-leading wireless networking chip connected to the chip design company. It is understood that Dr. Zeman has many years of experience in chip design and management, he worked in several top US chip design companies as the core technology and management positions. Before co-founding Tailing Microelectronics Corporation, he Qualcomm, Silicon, Spreadtrum communications, microelectronics companies such as Chi Mai from engineers, design director to vice president and a series of technical and management positions. Dr. Zeman is one of the global leader in CMOS RF chip design, involved in the design of a variety of industry-first CMOS RF chip products, with more than 30 Chinese and American patents. He led Tailing microelectronics company within a few years become a global wireless networking chip connection technology leader, and was named to the Central Organization Department, thousands of plans. Sheng Wenjun Tsinghua University and a bachelor's degree holds a Ph.D. Texas A & M University.
"Our senior experts returnees optical chips have eight aspects, such as the number, in addition to domestic Spreadtrum is us!" He said with good self.
1. The two key patents allow Tailing mesh fore
Dr. Sheng Wenjun said Tailing two key technologies to support real-time status is a multi-point backhaul, a multi-node can be achieved without delay switch control, these two techniques enhance the usefulness of mesh technology.
"For example, in the smart home control, we can achieve more than the control device simultaneously, without these two technologies could result in a repeat of the control device and can not be cooperative control, these two techniques we apply in the European Union and the United States China patent. "he stressed.
These two technologies have a key scene is the future people may simultaneously control the device in the family, such as parents or other relatives are in control of the same lamp, this time on the need to make real-time transmission status light controllers see status lights to avoid a repeat operation or erroneous operation.
In addition, he also stressed that the mesh Tailing chip high temperature of 125 degrees, especially for such a high standard in the field of LED lighting adoption. In addition, their chip also supports many-to-many and control, is simply perfect program LED field.
2. Continuous zoom trick
According to Dr. Zeman introduced Tailing force not only in the field of mesh, also pushing things multimode chip, January Tailing launched the world's first All-in-One networking chips. "This integrated on a single chip 2.4GHz standard of things all the necessary features and functionality, and the price is much lower than European companies!" Dr. Zeman stressed.
Tailing Microelectronics in January 19, 2016 released the world's first Internet of Things All-in-1 chip TLSR8269. Tailing The chip is the latest development of low-power wireless multi-mode chip, due to the integration of security, voice search, touch control and other features and functions, from wireless smart home field of toys, TLSR8269 are the best human interface device single-chip solutions to choose from.
Support multiple standards in parallel TLSR8269 chip based on single chip can implement a variety of innovative end product standard requirements, we will rewrite the Internet of Things. TLSR8269 on a single chip integrated RF and digital signal processing, software and protocol stack multiple Profiles, support for Bluetooth Smart, BLE Mesh, 6LoWPAN, Thread, Zigbee, RF4CE, HomeKit and 2.4GHz proprietary standards.
TLSR8269 integrated 512KB FLASH features built to meet all the needs of the end product functionality through software configuration, providing great flexibility. TLSR8269 even air support OTA firmware upgrades, product features introduced with the upgrade. For certain applications, TLSR8269 can "parallel" to run two standards, for example, Bluetooth Smart and ZigBee / RF4CE standard, so no external hub, based on a single chip, the product can bridge the world of smart phones and smart home.
In addition, the security in the application of things is very important, in view of this, TLSR8269 integrated hardware acceleration module, support for complex encryption operation without an external DSP to meet HomeKit, Thread and other standard requirements, thereby greatly reducing the cost of equipment eBOM .
TLSR8269 supports both analog and digital audio output and a microphone for voice search and other similar applications enhanced audio performance. TLSR8269 also offers a variety of on-chip peripherals, LED lights, sensors, touch controller, keyboard, motors and other external devices for easy connection. Have these features and capabilities, both for smart lighting, smart home, or advanced remote control, wireless toys and other things, and human interface devices, TLSR8269 chip arguably could be called the best single-chip networking solutions.
3. Intel phase is "dark horse"
Last September, on the 30th anniversary of Intel Capital (Intel Capital) was established, Intel Capital announced a list of eight innovative technology companies have invested in China, they are Kyushu cloud, blue shore communications, electronic Hampshire, Naen Bo, Sanofi nm, Chi-technology, Tailing Microelectronics (has signed investment agreements) as well as the previously announced over Haiyun JNC company, totaling $ 67 million.
These companies are from intelligent devices, robotics, networking, cloud, big data and field data analysis. This huge investment demonstrates Intel always focus on Chinese national policy and direction of industrial development, China is committed to accelerating the development and promotion of science and technology ecosystem commitment to innovation in China's economic takeoff.
Dr. Sheng Wenjun said that with the market in 2015 things began to accelerate, Tailing sales also showing a rapid upward trend in 2015 Tailing chip sales may be billions of dollars. 2016 development of the situation better!
