AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands, September 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Tamar™ will be launched officially at Metering Europe in Amsterdam in October

MobixChip, a subsidiary of Mobix Wireless Solutions, is excited and proud to announce the implementation of our patented AMI, n-DNet™ technology, on a new single dedicated ASIC named Tamar™

Tamar™ is a multi-protocol SOC (System on Chip), which enables robust hybrid-mesh network communications for Advanced Metering Infrastructure applications.

Tamar™ ASIC implements Mobix's patented n-DNet™technology, a highly reliable, field proven, cost-effective, 2-way dual PLC and RF mesh network giving our customers unparalleled performance.

Tamar™ will change the industry by fusing both PLC and RF capabilities into a single, hybrid and unified network on a single ASIC. Embedding the n-DNet™ technology in an ASIC offers the AMI market significant additional advantages:

  1. Cost reduction (replacing 3 ICs, foot print, ease of integration)
  2. Performance (Silicon level synchronization, Low power consumption, higher throughput )
  3. Security (Complete AMI data protection)
  4. Interoperability (3 RF standards and 4 PLC standards)

Tamar™ will be available in the first quarter of 2013.

"This major metering event in Amsterdam is the best opportunity for Mobix to announce our new AMI ASIC - Tamar™ and introduce its best-in-class features to customers and partners from all over the World.

We look forward to expand our engagements with early-stage design partners using our FPGA-based reference design to ensure their designs will be the first to reach the market with Mobix's patented n-DNet hybrid technology, when the 1st Tamar™ engineering samples arrive in 3-4 months' time.."
