Collaboration between SPARK Microsystems and Softgent for advanced wireless communication and location technology aimed at maximizing efficiency
In a strategic move, SPARK Microsystems and Softgent have joined forces to leverage SPARK's ultra-wideband (UWB) technology and Softgent's scalable IoT connectivity platforms. This collaboration aims to extend the reach of SPARK's breakthrough UWB technology, offering customers in healthcare and industrial markets a unique combination of power-efficient, high-performance wireless communication, ultra-precise positioning, and cost-effective integrated solutions.
The partnership utilizes SPARK's second-generation SR1120 transceiver, which offers data delivery at an impressive 40.96 Mbps—40 times higher than Bluetooth. This high throughput supports robust wireless connectivity for real-time applications, ensuring reliable communication even in RF-congested settings.
One of the key benefits of this collaboration is the ultra-low power consumption of SPARK's UWB technology. In healthcare, this means longer-lasting battery-powered devices for improved patient monitoring, asset management, and workflow optimization. In industrial applications, it supports real-time tracking of personnel and assets with secure, low-latency communications that improve operational safety and efficiency.
Moreover, SPARK's UWB technology consumes less power and has lower latency compared to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and traditional 2.4 GHz solutions, making it a more robust choice for wireless data communications in these sectors.
The combined design acumen of Softgent and SPARK provides customers with flexible, integrated UWB-based platforms at unrivaled cost efficiencies and ultra-low power profiles. This partnership is facilitating faster, more efficient, and impactful wireless data communications and ranging, positioning Softgent and SPARK as key players in the advancement of IoT implementation and operational effectiveness in healthcare and industrial sectors.
