'The addition of Chipcon's solutions allows us to discuss the full range of wireless communications options with our customers'.
Jarrett added: 'ZigBee is commonly used in battery-driven systems, alongside low power microcontrollers, displays and other solutions'.
'Abacus Polar already represents the top franchises in these domains - allowing us to populate the whole of a customer's ZigBee board'.
