Qualcomm is introducing the Qualcomm Mesh Networking Development Kit for Amazon AVS.

The SDK offers manufacturers the necessary building blocks to create mesh Wi-Fi systems with Alexa built-in, bringing the convenience of voice control to connected devices throughout the home.

The addition of Alexa, integrated via the ClearVoice far-field voice enhancement software solution from Meeami Technologies, makes it easy for mesh networking manufacturers to provide voice capabilities to their customers layered on the Qualcomm Wi-Fi mesh platforms.

The Qualcomm Mesh Networking Development Kit for Amazon AVS integrates all the features available in the Qualcomm Mesh Networking Platform reference design, with defining kit elements now including:

• IPQ4019 integrated network processor
• Integrated audio decoding and post-processing
  
• Multi-microphone FFV (far field voice) and WWD (wake word detection)
• Support for various I/O technologies
• Full software stack of the Qualcomm Mesh Networking Platform.

Qualcomm announced the Qualcomm Mesh Networking Platform back in 2017, and last year, the company integrated advanced voice services.
