Atmel Fuels The Internet of Things

Atmel has entered into an agreement to acquire Ozmo, Inc., a leading developer of ultra-low power Wi-Fi Direct certified technologies. This acquisition expands Atmel’s wireless portfolio to further enable design engineers to create smart, connected devices, including those targeted to The Internet of Things.

Ozmo’s Wi-Fi Direct certified technologies will mesh well with Atmel’s low-power solutions, such as its microcontrollers and touch devices. Designers who develop battery-powered consumer electronics–think gaming peripherals, digital thermostats and home appliances–will benefit from highly integrated, ultra-low power solutions that meet the requirements for intelligent, connected products.
