Silicon Labs has released a conforming Thread mesh networking stack that has successfully passed testing based on the Thread 1.1 technical specification. Developers using this stack running on Silicon Labs’ wireless SoCs and wireless modules can submit their Thread-enabled products for conformance testing using Thread test resources to ensure conformance based on the 1.1 standard.
Originally released in July 2015, the Thread specification has undergone significant enhancements including the addition of new capabilities such as channel agility and master key change. All Thread-enabled products will be evaluated against the new Thread 1.1 hardware test bed and test harness to ensure conformance. The Thread Group’s test programme is managed by the independent UL test lab, which provides rigorous testing for Thread-based products to ensure they work together seamlessly and securely.
Thread software provides a self-healing, IPv6-based mesh network capable of scaling to 250+ nodes with no single point of failure. The protocol provides robust support for sleepy end nodes, extending battery life and easing commissioning. Silicon Labs’ Thread stack uses banking-class, end-to-end security to join nodes to the network and proven AES-128 cryptography to secure all networking transactions.
