Company Overview
Connect One™ is a leading fabless semiconductor company that provides value-added solutions for connecting devices to the Internet and other IP-based networks through LAN or WLAN. Their field-proven embedded chips and embedded device servers (modules) enable manufacturers of any kind of non-PC device to easily, quickly and cost-effectively add IP connectivity to new and existing devices. They provide unequalled solutions and support at every step in a project, from concept and design through mass deployment.
Products
iChips
iChip™ updateable Internet Controller™ chips provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for embedding IP-based communication and other network services in low-cost, non-PC devices running M2M (machine-to-machine) applications. iChip mediates the connection between a host device and the Internet, operating as an embedded device server. It eliminates the need for Internet programming and avoids the hassle, risks and costs of a development project. Instead, customers are assured a fast design-in, with predictable timing and budget. Typical design time is one man-month.
Key Benefits:
- Easy, rapid design-in – requiring minimal hardware redesign, no change to the operating system (or no operating system at all), no Internet programming, and minimal or no modifications to the application; design-in is typically one month or less
- Cost-effective IP connectivity – eliminates the need to use more powerful processors than required for the core application; saves the costs of developing and debugging in-house hardware or software solutions
- Proven, worldwide reliability – installed since 1999 in devices operating in 50 countries, across disparate environments
- Lifetime updatability – fully updateable firmware in all products enables support of new protocols; remote updatability available with some iChips
- Much more than TCP/IP – supports the complete TCP/IP protocol stack and includes upper layer protocols (such as SSL3/TLS1.0 SMTP, POP3, MIME, HTTP, WAP, FTP, and TELNET); also includes an onboard Web server, along with numerous features that optimize network connectivity
- Built-in security – secure sockets, secure upper layer protocols, secure SMTP authentication and MD5 password encryption for the embedded Web server
Embedded Device Servers
Connect One™ offers a line of External and Embedded Device Servers which are secure, high-performance and virtually plug-and-play for IP-enabling any device over wired and wireless LANs.
All Connect One solutions are based on iChips. As a result, manufacturers have the possibility to migrate to an on-board design using CO2128 / CO2144, which can significantly reduce BOM costs. To facilitate this transition, Connect One offers multiple reference designs.
Connect One’s External and Embedded Device Servers are remotely updateable, ensuring that connectivity continues to work smoothly throughout the lifetime of the host device. In order to facilitate design, they use common industry pin-outs.
Key Benefits:
- Full Internet solution – including all IP protocols, as well as e-mail, FTP, Telnet, HTTP and many other applications
- Highest level of security – Hardwired SSL3/TLS1 encryption provides end-to-end security, in addition to Wireless LAN encryption like WPA2
- Firewall functionality – Connect One modules protect applications from Internet attacks
- Embedded web-server provides instant WebUI for new and existing embedded devices
- Plug-and-play – requiring no programming and no modifications to the host application or device when using SerialNET™ mode
- Lifetime updatability – fully updateable firmware enables support of new protocols; can be updated remotely
- Fully certified - making it easy to complete the development of finished devices
All WLAN solutions use the wi2wi WLAN SIP devices, which are in themselves, Marvell WLAN chip enabled.
