Bluetooth LE devices

11 May 2011 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Bluegiga Technologies recently launched its new Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) product family. The company’s initial Bluetooth LE products include the BLE112 module and a BLED112 USB dongle. Both products offer everything needed to build a Bluetooth LE application, including radio, software stack, microcontroller and development tools to embed customer applications within the products.

The BLE112 single mode module is targeted at sensors and accessories requiring low-power connectivity. It is a complete, ready to integrate Bluetooth LE OEM module with antenna, radio, software stack and flexible hardware interfaces to connect sensors, displays or other peripherals. Full customer applications can be embedded within the module, eliminating the need for an external microcontroller. The BLE112 can be powered by standard 3 V coin cell batteries or two AAA batteries and in its lowest power sleep mode only consumes 400 nA; it can wake from sleep in a few hundred microseconds.

The BLED112 USB dongle is well suited for personal computers or other legacy devices with a USB port that do not support the Bluetooth 4.0 standard. The dongle can operate as a virtual COM port or a USB HID device, making it ideal for HID accessories like keyboards and mice as no driver is needed.
