Happy New Year to all!
Everyone here at Espressif would like to wish you health, happiness and creativity for 2020! As ever, we shall continue working hard in trying to give you the best in the field of AIoT. The outgoing year has been an incredible one for our company. In 2019 we released ESP-WHO, our AI development framework, along with its accompanying development board, ESP-EYE. We also launched the ESP-Jumpstart framework to help developers convert their ideas into actual products as quickly as possible. And we also put ESP-Skainet, Espressif’s voice assistant, on the market. At the same time, we consolidated our collaboration with the Google Cloud IoT platform, Tencent Cloud IoT platform and Microsoft Azure IoT solutions.
Furthermore, we made an impressive debut in a field of 25 companies that launched their initial public offering on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR) of Shanghai’s Stock Exchange in July 2019. Last, but not least, ESP-BLE-MESH, our implementation of the SIG Bluetooth Mesh got fully certified by Bluetooth-SIG and at the same time other Espressif chips advanced their certification credentials, as shown below:
- ESP-WROOM-02D: ANATEL / IFETEL
- ESP32-S2-WROVER: SRRC / CE / FCC
- ESP32-WROVER-B: Wi-Fi Alliance
These are only a few of our achievements in 2019, but they are the basis of why we look into 2020 with a sense of hope and optimism. Our positivity is based on our work ethos, our passion for innovation and our openness to sharing our technological know-how with the rest of the world. In 2020 we shall continue working hard to take Espressif’s AIoT solutions to the next level. Our intention is to remain at the forefront of technological evolution.
