Ember
Objective
Ember Corporation needed to leapfrog the competition to develop a single chip ZigBee radio.
Approach
They achieved this by purchasing the Intellectual Property of Cambridge Consultants and hiring a specialist design team with background in the area.
Buying in a proven 802.15.4 portfolio in this way reduced their risk and allowed them to achieve their goal of leading the ZigBee single chip market.
Result
Ember have had flexible access to a specialist design team to support their own team through the development process.
Benefit
This has allowed Ember to produce a complete ZigBee solution in far less time than would otherwise have been the case. Their time to market was therefore reduced dramatically.
