GREENSBORO, NC – September 29, 2022 – Qorvo®, a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announced the availability of Matter-compatible development kits to immediately create smart home Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that comply with the newest version of the industry standard. The Qorvo Matter kits are pre-certified for Matter after successfully passing all test events. With the final certification of the standard expected in the fall of 2022, customers can innovate with confidence, knowing they are working with the most current version of the Matter standard.

Matter is an important new standard supported by Qorvo, Amazon, Apple, Google and other industry and technology leaders working together with the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). Matter provides a single, unified way to connect compatible devices and systems to each other, ensuring they are fully interoperable, open and secure. The Matter security features, including device attestation, are fully integrated into Qorvo's development kits for a seamless out-of-the-box experience.

Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo Wireless Connectivity, said, "Qorvo's Matter solutions combine outstanding range with great battery performance, two key factors for creating successful Matter products. These Matter development kits leverage our technology leadership and empower customers to quickly create best-in-class products. By including full Bluetooth® low energy (LE) functionality − as well as Zigbee – Qorvo offers developers the ability to provide full backward compatibility along with future-proofing Matter."

Qorvo's Matter-compatible development kits for gateway and connected devices simplify IoT design by combining the most advanced hardware and software solutions. They fully integrate Qorvo's unique ConcurrentConnect™ Multi Radio technology, enabling simultaneous operation of Bluetooth LE, Matter and Zigbee.

Qorvo has multiple Matter-compatible devices in production including the QPG7015M, the world's first transceiver featuring real-time concurrency, and the QPG6105, a smart home communications controller that delivers superior multi-standard performance with a single radio. These products enable seamless and simultaneous network management across multiple standard protocols. Qorvo software solutions for Matter are also available now on the company's Github site.
