Electronic Enthusiasts Network reported (text/Huang Jingjing) “Since the outbreak of the epidemic at the beginning of this year, we have resumed work as soon as possible to help the wireless intelligent construction of Leishenshan, Huoshenshan and Fangcai hospitals.” President of Zilian Electronic Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Manager Tan Lintao told the electronic enthusiasts network and other media at the new product launch conference held recently. Zilian Technology is one of the first companies to resume work during the epidemic, and it is racing against time to speed up the shipment of wireless products to control the epidemic.
Tan Lintao, General Manager of Zilian Electronic Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
Since its establishment, Zilian Technology has not chosen the consumer electronics industry, but focused on the medical and industrial Internet of Things. In the post-epidemic era, people’s increasing emphasis on medical health will accelerate the demand for intelligent upgrades of medical equipment. The industrial IoT market size ranks first in the IoT segment. From this point of view, the track chosen by Zilian Technology has a very broad growth space.
Tan Lintao said that the medical and industrial IoT fields attach great importance to intelligence and security, and the advantage of Self-Link Technology is to provide intelligent and security solutions for the entire system from wireless modules, infrastructure to cloud middleware.
It is understood that Zilian Technology has many patented IoT products, all of which have passed the FCC and CE certification with ID, and have been adopted by many mainstream medical device manufacturers and solution providers in China, including Shanghai Optoelectronics, General Electric , Mindray Medical, Smiths Medical, Medtronic, Libang, Aerospace Yigen and other international leading companies.
Zilian Technology has created a comprehensive technology platform for intelligent and IoT products and solutions, and through continuous development of medical and industrial IoT applications, it has formed four IoT product lines and continuously launched new products on this basis. The equipment status and customer needs in the scene can quickly realize the service capability of customized solutions. The product line is mainly aimed at terminal equipment that supports network interfaces and has business logic; terminal equipment that supports any communication interface and has business logic; non-electronic products; terminal equipment that does not support external interfaces and has business logic.
Specifically, in order to support terminal devices with network interfaces and business logic, Zilian Technology has launched a new Wi-Fi wireless bridge product. ALXB15X is an upgraded version of the widely deployed ALXB10X series, which supports Wi-Fi 5 wireless communication. Protocol, dual antenna design, support MU-MIMO, more suitable for terminal equipment that needs to transmit images and other high data volume; ALXB16X supports Wi-Fi 6 wireless communication protocol. It has functions such as system compatibility, mobility, self-recovery and Wi-Fi Mesh. It can be connected to the terminal device through the network cable, and it can be used for different operating systems, which reflects better compatibility. Mobility mainly refers to the conversion of wired network to wireless network, so that terminal equipment can be moved. In addition, it has self-recovery ability after being loaded into the terminal product, and can be automatically connected when the WIFI network is disconnected and then connected to the network, ensuring that the user’s terminal equipment is not interrupted 7*24 hours. WIFI MESH can realize wireless relay in the case of large area.
Data gateway products support blood glucose meters, bracelets, etc. to be connected through Bluetooth, and support multi-protocol connection to the cloud through NB-IOT, etc.
Recently, Zilian Technology and Shanghai Aerospace Yigen Intelligent Technology jointly launched the edge computing product ALXE10B smart box for industrial Internet of Things. This product can be used to quickly add collection, edge The storage capabilities of processing, communication, big data processing and cloud-edge collaboration are suitable for industries such as machinery, aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, automobiles, power generation, metallurgy, mold manufacturing and electronic information equipment.
In addition, Zilian Technology has also built an AI edge computing server that supports mainstream webcams, focusing on video image analysis and computing, and built-in multiple AI algorithms. It can support 16 channels of video access, etc., to meet the needs of edge computing for artificial intelligence functions.
For non-electronic products, sensors can be used to collect data, such as temperature and humidity sensors, cameras, etc., and then the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module transmits the data to the network, which is used in medical equipment such as monitors.
The latest Bluetooth module ALX412 launched by Zilian Technology supports Bluetooth BLE5.0, adopts ARM Cortex-M3 core, and is equipped with LPDSP32 DSP, which is suitable for audio codec. In addition to UART SPI and other interfaces, it also supports digital microphone interface, and supports wide voltage input 1.1V-3.3V. In addition, the ALX420A is a small, low-power, self-contained Bluetooth dual-mode controller for healthcare, industrial control equipment, home appliances and smart energy systems.
In terms of Wi-Fi modules, Zilian Technology has launched three types of products: Wi-Fi4/5/6. Among them, the ALX850x supporting Wi-Fi4 is the current main shipment. It supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, while the latest two modules of Zilian Technology support Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 respectively, dual antenna design, equipped with ARM Cortex-M4 core, the main frequency reaches 180MHz, and supports UART/SPI/RMII interface.
In addition, a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo module has also been launched. There are modules with protocol stacks, which are suitable for a relatively small number of devices, such as ventilator products, electrocardiographs, etc.; there are also modules that support high-speed SDIO interfaces and dual antennas. Groups such as ALXC29 and ALXC2A are suitable for ultrasound imaging products.
The medical and industrial IoT industry is not as fast as consumer electronics. Even for consumer electronics, Wi-Fi6 chips are still in their infancy. We have seen that Zilian Technology has taken the lead in launching applications in medical, industrial and other fields. The Wi-Fi6 module, in other words, its technical capabilities and product preparations have been launched earlier than the market. Perhaps it is this kind of preparedness that enables Zilian Technology to be recognized by more and more customers, and it can seize business opportunities and grow at the first time of customer demand.
