MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2014) - Sigma Designs® (
Entitled "Z-Wave's IMA Mesh Network Health Monitor: Minimizing Truck Rolls While Increasing Customer Satisfaction," the paper details a network self-test and reporting feature, incorporated into Z-Wave's low-power, wireless mesh network. The IMA feature is particularly beneficial for service providers, installers, and dealers of home automation and home security systems.
The Z-Wave IMA enables a technician to locally or remotely survey the Z-Wave signal quality at every node in the system. This can speed up installation and help ensure robust performance of the smart home system. When service is needed, a technician can use this mesh network health information to diagnose and repair problems in a home or office, sometimes without any need for the technician to visit, saving time and money for the service provider or installer.

Adopted by over 300 worldwide market leaders, Z-Wave is fully interoperable between all brands and is fully backward-compatible between versions.
