Breaking ecological boundaries to achieve the interconnection of all things, IP intelligent protocol, CSA security certification.
Matter is an IP-based application layer protocol designed to address compatibility issues in smart homes, enabling seamless connectivity between devices from different brands. By providing a unified standard, Matter fosters a more open and interoperable IoT ecosystem. It supports communication based on Thread and Wi-Fi, with Thread specifically designed for smart homes and based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
Realtek SoC supports Thread and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which can operate independently or collaboratively to meet the needs of various application scenarios. Users can utilize Realtek SoC to implement various configurations of Matter devices, including Router, Sleepy End Device (SED), and Synchronized Sleepy End Device (SSED), to meet different network requirements. Additionally, through the Thread Border Router, Matter devices can achieve cross-network communication.
These solutions offer users flexible Realtek SoC application options, thereby enhancing the connectivity and compatibility of smart homes.
Application Scenario
In smart home scenarios, the Matter protocol connects various brands of smart devices in the home through a unified standard, achieving convenient interoperability and control. Whether it's lighting, thermostats, security cameras, or smart appliances, users can easily manage and automate operations through a single platform. This uniformity simplifies the installation and setup process of devices, enhancing the convenience and comfort of daily life. Matter's high level of security ensures the privacy of home data, allowing users to enjoy the convenience of smart homes without concern. With personalized scene settings, home life becomes smarter and more efficient.
In the smart office scenario, the Matter protocol facilitates seamless integration among office devices and systems by providing a consistent connection standard. Smart lighting, conference room equipment, security systems, and more can be centrally managed and automated through Matter. Employees can adjust environmental settings, such as lighting and temperature, via a simple interface to suit different meeting or work needs. This connectivity not only enhances office efficiency but also reduces energy consumption. Matter's security mechanisms ensure the safety of company data and networks, providing a solid foundation for creating a modern and collaborative office environment.
