Ploug, Danfoss A/SSlide 5 Present technologies We love We look forward to / ZigBee We see areas for Bluetooth Today we use proprietary technologies and are successful but not happy with all applications Do standards cover everything? No – that is why I am here We have applications with RF performance needs beyond present level
