(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Institute of Digital Guangdong to Provide Independent Technical
Certification
FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sigma Designs® (NASDAQ:SIGM),
a leading provider of intelligent system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for Connected
Smart TV platforms and Smart home IoT, today announces the Institute of Digital
Guangdong (IDG) will serve as a new Z-Wave Certification Test House in China, to
expand certification testing capabilities in Asia.
Z-Wave Certification ensures interoperability between Z-Wave products. All Z-
Wave products must be certified before launch on the commercial market and once
certified, will display Z-Wave interoperability logo badges. There are two
components to Z-Wave certification. Technical certification is managed through
Sigma Designs utilizing independent, third-party test houses and Market
Certification is managed through the Z-Wave Alliance.
"We know the smart home market has great potential in China. We have chosen to
work with IDG to better serve the growing Z-Wave market and give our customers
who are creating smart home experiences in China a quicker path to certification
and thus the commercial market," said Raoul Wijgergangs, VP of Sigma Designs' Z-
Wave Business Unit.
Sigma Designs currently has approximately 340 companies registered on the Z-Wave
Plus Certification Portal, representing 35 different countries. At least 40 of
those companies are from mainland China and five from Hong Kong.
"As a new certification facility, we are excited to promote the use of the Z-
Wave technology in the market and are committed to facilitating the industrial
deployment of the Z-Wave technology," said Dr. Li Ying, Executive Vice President
of IDG.
IDG will serve as the independent, third-party technical certification test
house in China beginning Oct. 9. This expands the global presence of authorized
test partners and gives developers the option of using BuLogics in Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, Pepper-One in Zwickau Germany and now, IDG in Guangzhou China for
technical certification.
