Freescale jumps on ONE-NET bandwagon

Freescale Semiconductors is the newest member of the ONE-NET open-source wireless networking alliance. "We are excited that Freescale will be supporting ONE-NET with their excellent line of microcontrollers," said James Martin, CEO of Threshold Corp., and a founding member of the ONE-NET alliance.

The ONE-NET wireless standard is a multivendor, open-source wireless control protocol that features a high level of security, excellent range, and low power consumption, according to the alliance. ONE-NET's design specification is distributed royalty-free, accelerating the availability and use of wireless connectivity in a wide variety of devices and applications. Source code examples for microcontrollers, schematics, and bills-of-materials for reference designs are readily available, and simple open-source licensing rules apply.
