FYI, Silicon Labs has announced that EFR32ZG23 (ZG23) EFR32ZG23 (ZG23) Z-Wave LR (Long Range) / Z-Wave 800 Series SoCs and "Z-Wave 800 Pro Kit" development kit + ZGM230S ZG23-based SiP modules are coming soon.
Note! As I understand it, "Z-Wave 800 Series" is the same as "Z-Wave 700 Series Long Range", a.k.a. "Z-Wave Plus LR" / "Z-Wave Long Range" / "Z-Wave Gen7 Long Range" , and it only differentiate itself in hardware from "Z-Wave 700 Series"and not in software or firmware. The initial Z-Wave Long Range 700 Starter Kit even uses a ZGM130S (EFR32ZG14 SoC) Z-Wave 700 Series SiP Module https://www.silabs.com/development-tools/wireless/z-wave/z-wave-long-range-700-starter-kit while the newer kit with a real "Long Range" radio board now uses a ZGM230S (EFR32ZG23 SoC) Z-Wave 800 Series SiP Module https://www.silabs.com/development-tools/wireless/z-wave/z-wave-800-pro-kit and yes existing Z-Wave products will, of course, be backward compatible to the new Z-Wave Long Range specification.
ZG23 support up to one mile (~1.6 km) wireless range, 10+ year battery life on a coin-cell battery, are certified with Arm PSA Level 3 security.
Silicon Labs explains the chips’ ultra-low transmit and receive radio power (13.2 mA TX at 10 dBm, 4.2 mA RX at 920 MHz) and RF implementation (+20 dBm output power and -125.3 dBm RX at 868 MHz, 2.4 kbps GFSK), makes the long-range and long battery life possible.
The ZG23 is designed for Z-Wave applications with Long Range and Mesh connectivity and can be integrated into either end devices or gateways. The company is also working on ZG23-based SiP modules (ZGM230S) to simplify development and speed time-to-market, and says the chip and modules target the Smart Home, as well as hotel and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) markets.
ZGM230S modules, and development kits are expected for later in Q4 2021. More details can be found on the respective product pages for EFR32ZG23 and ZGM130S that are also called “Z-Wave 800 Modem SoC” and “Z-Wave 800 Modem SiP Module”.
