"As demand for the next-generation of wearable technology continues to grow, device manufacturers are faced with a challenge - how to keep these devices constantly powered. Today's wearables simply use too much power, limiting their 'always-on' connectivity to no more than a few days. In order to catch up with the hype, wearable device manufacturers need access to ultra-low-power components, including a low-power SOC specifically designed to meet the needs of wearables. Ineda's new Dhanush WPU is uniquely positioned to provide manufacturers with the capabilities they need to meet the expectations of consumers."

“The rapid expansion of wearable technology has brought the issue of power consumption back to the forefront,” stated Linley Gwennap, Principal Analyst at The Linley Group. “Until now, the industry roadmap has simply not been able to sustain the low-power, high performance requirements necessary for wearable devices to truly take off. Ineda Systems new Dhanush WPU is the first low-power SoC designed from the ground-up to meet the specific power requirements of wearable devices, with custom solutions to fit a variety of emerging wearable form factors.”
