Proprietary Wireless Protocols for Sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz

Proprietary Software Development

The Flex SDK is a complete software development suite for proprietary wireless applications that provides two paths for development. The first path begins with Silicon Labs RAIL (Radio Abstraction Interface Layer), which is an intuitive and easily-customizable radio interface layer designed to support proprietary or standards-based wireless protocols. The second path uses Silicon Labs Connect, an IEEE 802.15.4-based networking stack designed for creating easily customizable broad-based proprietary wireless networking solutions optimized for devices that require low power consumption for both sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands and targeted for simple network topologies. The Flex SDK includes extensive documentation and sample applications, the popular range test, functionality for lab evaluation, wake-on-radio as well as bi-directional packet transmission and reception. All these examples are provided in source code within the Flex SDK sample applications. Using the supporting Simplicity Studio tools suite, developers can take advantage of the graphical user interface to quickly generate wireless applications, perform energy profiling and various system optimizations.
