Ceva, a licensor of silicon and software IP focused on Smart Edge device solutions, has launched Ceva-Waves Links, a family of IPs focused on accelerating enhanced connectivity in MCUs and SOCs for IOT and Smart Edge AI applications, according to a press release.

Ceva-Waves Links is a family of multi-protocol wireless platform IPs aimed at consumer IoT, Industrial, automotive, and personal computing markets, with IPs including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and IEEE-802.15.4 (for Thread/Zigbee/Matter). The Links family leverages the Ceva-Waves portfolio of wireless connectivity (formerly known as RivieraWaves). Ceva-Waves Links100, an integrated, low power, Wi-Fi 6 / Bluetooth 5.4 / 802.15.4 communications subsystem IP for IoT applications, is the first IP available in this family and is currently being deployed by an OEM customer.

"The Ceva-Waves Links wireless connectivity IPs build on our extensive portfolio that already powers more than 1 billion devices annually and has enabled us to establish a strong and diversified customer base across consumer and industrial IoT applications," Tal Shalev, VP and general manager of the Wireless IoT business unit at CEVA, said in the release. "With many customers designing chips employing multiple wireless standards, Links is a natural extension, leveraging our technology and expertise to dramatically reduce the technology barrier but yet delivering a tailored, optimal solution that provides the high-performance, low latency and low-power connectivity required."
