Our offerings include embedded networking software, integrated MCU/Tranceiver chips, reference designs and tools that ensure the successful development and deployment of intelligent wireless devices.

Sigma Designs offers the Z-Wave® protocol , a wireless RF-based communications technology designed for control and status reading applications in residential and light commercial environments. Z-Wave delivers reliable wireless networking at a fraction of the cost of other similar technologies, by focusing on narrow bandwidth applications and substituting costly hardware with innovative software solutions. Z-Wave transforms any stand-alone device into an intelligent network node that can be controlled and monitored wirelessly. Applications for Z-Wave intelligence include home entertainment systems, lighting and appliance control, HVAC systems, security and access control, meter reading and digital home health care. Z-Wave brings increased comfort, convenience and safety to any home or business. Z-Wave technology is available as the Z-Wave Single Chip solutions. The Z-Wave protocol stack is embedded in the chips, and Flash memory is available to the manufacturer/OEM for their application software. For smooth product development, a range of manufacturing blueprints of the PCB circuitry surrounding the Z-Wave Single Chip is offered, including antenna circuitry and filters.

Sigma Designs also licenses designs, stack software and APIs to chip manufacturers interested in entering the home control space, with Z-Wave porting services that assure quality and accelerate product development. Z-Wave's industry-leading device specifications are available royalty free, based on a RAND-Z model, and the Z-Wave certification program ensures interoperability between all products.
