Bluegiga Technologies announced its new BLE121LR extended range Bluetooth Smart module. It offers extended range capabilities in excess of 250 to 450 m with current generation tablets and smartphones while maintaining low-power operation commensurate with Bluetooth Smart technology.
The device boasts RF transmit power of +8 dBm, receive sensitivity of -98 dBm, peak current consumption of 38 mA and sleep current as low as 0,5 µA. It also offers a full suite of peripheral interfaces including SPI, I2C, GPIO, ADCs, PWMs and a UART host interface.
As with the BLE112, BLE113 and BLED112 before it, the BLE121LR implements Bluegiga’s Bluetooth Smart software stack and SDK, offering developers a full-featured Bluetooth Smart stack and application development environment for onboard and off-module application operation.
