The Sunnyvale, California-based company is developing low-powered RF chips that can wireless connect distributed nodes throughout the enterprise. Beyond that, it is keeping tight-lipped.
Senior director of sales David Friedman said the silicon itself would be a mixed-signal RF chip, but wouldn’t give any specifications. He declined even to elaborate on how those chips might be used, except to say they would transmit and receive data wireless and would have a very small battery capacity.
In the future, wireless is going to grow in a big way, but will be true wireless, Friedman said. So very small battery, no plugs, lots of little things collecting data.
He also declined to comment on why Cisco gave the company a look in.
ZeroG launched in 2006, and begun development of its product in earnest then, he said. The company, which has about 20 workers, all US-based, would make minor announcements throughout the year, ahead of its product launch, Friedman said.
Greylock Partners and Morgenthaler also participated in the VC round.
