Single Radio MultiPAN

DSR's Single Radio MultiPAN is a cross-platform solution enabling concurrent Matter-over-Thread and Zigbee functionality on a single 802.15.4 radio. With Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and low-power wireless data networks like Zigbee and Thread all running on the 2.4 GHz band, ensuring coexistence between protocols is essential.

Zigbee and Thread build on the same IEEE 802.15.4 radio band. This compatibility is why Zigbee and Thread can run simultaneously on the same radio. Single Radio MultiPAN extends wireless systems in an efficient manner, bringing devices from separate protocols into a streamlined network.

Benefits

Cross-Platform

Abstraction layer allows porting to any 802.15.4 radio without changing protocols and applications that use the radio.

Easy to Maintain and Upgrade

Original Zigbee and Thread protocols used to communicate with radio.

Transparency

Zigbee and Thread work independently and separately, as if each are the only stack on the platform.

Extend Connectivity Without Additional Hardware 

Allows adding of Zigbee to Matter gateway and likewise, allows adding of Matter to Zigbee gateway.

Features

Enables Simultaneous running on Zigbee and Thread Coexistence 

Supports Zigbee Coordinator, Router, and End Device roles

Supports Full and Minimal Thread Devices

Frees up space on 2.4 GHz radio band 

Supports temporary channel switch for Thread CSL & Zigbee Green Power

Integrate Matter with no additional hardware

Low-latency communication 

Low-power consumption capabilities

Advantages

DSR's Single Radio MultiPAN provides advantages for Chip Vendors and Product Manufacturers alike

Chip Vendors

Simple migration from any Zigbee or Thread solution allows vendors to offer to product companies a solution with easy addition of features at minimal costs that are hardware agnostic.

Product Manufacturers

Flexibility in designing or selecting hardware platforms and ability to use a single radio.
