Innovative UK SME's collaborate to disrupt the smart city market: Joint press release Cascoda and Vertizan
Hot on the heels of the UK government launch of their £10M IoT smart city competition and Qualcomm joining the Thread initiative. Cascoda and Vertizan (formerly known as Coveritas) are delighted to announce today the results of our collaboration in this space.
A more detailed case study will be available on our respective websites at the end of the week. Innovative UK SME's collaborate to disrupt the smart city market “As a new entrant into the market for IEEE 802.15.4 low power wireless transceivers, failure on quality was not an option. We knew our patented bat™ radio architecture would stand out from the crowd and disrupt the market, but our target global market leading customers would expect more than just compliance to the standard. Our software protocol stack had to be tested for every conceivable functional use case, which is well above and beyond the compliance test case set. We did not have the people or the time manually to push our development and QA testing to this level, so we chose to work with Vertizan's Vitaq® intelligent testing tool suite.” Bruno Johnson, CEO, Cascoda Ltd
“In less than three months Cascoda’s software engineer created a complete IEEE 802.15.4 Vitaq® test environment. By combining stress testing with difficult-to-reach corner cases, Vitaq® has automatically created millions of valuable tests. This allowed Cascoda to discover, fix and re-verify issues which would have been virtually impossible to find using predetermined test sequences.” Sean Redmond, CEO, Vertizan Limited
