FIERCEWIRELESS - Aug 31 - Ineda Systems is testing samples of two chip designs that could extend battery lives for wearable devices. Ineda's low-power chip works alongside a device's main processor, running simple applications and remaining alert for voice commands. This enables the main processor to power down for longer periods. Ineda's three-core Advanced chip design for high-end wearable devices is expected to enter production next year. The company's two-core Micro design for low-end smartwatches is also being tested in preparation for eventual production. The Micro could also be added to smartphones to improve power efficiency. Ineda's multi-core chips will require software integration to work with existing mobile device operating systems. The company is developing tools to address that issue.
Ineda Systems Chip Saves Battery Power
TECHNOLOGY REVIEW - Aug 27 - Ineda Systems has developed a chip which works alongside a main processor in a wearable, listening for voice commands or running simple apps. This allows the main processor to stay powered down when not needed, saving batter power. The company has two chips, which it hopes to begin mass producing next year. Ineda is backed by investors, including Qualcomm.

Samsung, Qualcomm Back Wearables Startup Ineda Technologies
PCMAG - Apr 8 - Samsung and Qualcomm were among the investors who invested $17M in Ineda Systems, a hardware startup that is developing chips for wearables and embedded IoT systems. Ineda introduced its first prototype product this week, a scalable, MIPPs-based System-on-a-Chip (SoC) platform for wearables branded "Dhanush." The startup is calling the platform a "Wearable Processing Unit," or WPU It promises always-on battery life for up to a month.
Wearables Processor With 30 Days Of Battery Life
RECODE.NET - Apr 8 - Ineda Systems claims the Dhanush processor consumes ~10 times less power than processors used in wearables today, enabling 30 days of always-on battery life. Ineda has raised $30M to date, from Samsung, Qualcomm, Walden-Riverwood Ventures, IndusAge Partners, Imagination Technologies and others.
