Real-time wireless networking is finally possible.
SMULL (Synchronous Multi-node Ultra Low-Latency) technology is InPlay’s global patented technology that provides real-time wireless networking with millisecond latency for excellent reliability and robustness.
The technology enables and can scale up to 128 wirelessly connected network nodes while maintaining ultra-low communication latency over the 2.4GHz ISM frequency band. It enables true real-time communication for a variety of wireless networking applications such as AR/VR, collaborative robotics, and fieldbus cable replacement applications.
IN618 SMULL
The “Ultra-Low-Latency” Leader
SMULL significantly cuts down communication latency between multiple nodes in a star network. It is the only SoC that delivers true low latency in one-to-many wireless architectures.
Built-in Adaptive Frequency Hopping
The IN618 automatically monitors communication quality and dynamically adjusts to a new channel if SNR drops. This ensures consistent, high-quality information transmission.
Next Level Audio & Gaming
The IN618 is an ideal candidate for latency-critical applications in audio and gaming. Help your users experience next-level immersion with real-time wireless communication powered by SMULL.
