Ember Corporation and Oki Semiconductor also held on to their second and third rankings in the company’s most recent evaluation of worldwide IEEE 802.15.4 IC vendors.
The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors’ positions in specific markets.
Vendors are assessed by ABI Research on the important parameters of “innovation” and “implementation” across several criteria, unique to each vendor matrix. For this particular matrix, ABI Research examined whether the vendor had a System-on-Chip product offering, the date of first product release, current product generation, transmit and receive power, receive sensitivity, and public/private status of the vendor.
