Multiprotocol wireless software handles IoT connectivity for next-gen apps
New dynamic multiprotocol software for the Wireless Gecko system-on-chip (SoC) and module portfolio enables simultaneous operation of Zigbee and Bluetooth low energy (LE) on a single SoC. This package handles Internet of Things (IoT) applications without incurring the additional complexity and hardware cost of a two-chip architecture, thereby reducing the wireless subsystem bill-of-materials (BOM) cost […]
Super-small RFID chip includes integrated antenna
Item size and materials have long been barriers to using RAIN RFID solutions. Today, Murata Americas introduced the latest version of its ultra-small RAIN RFID Tag with integrated antenna – the LXMSJZNCMF-198 that address those size and materials constraints. Measuring just 1.25 x 1.25 x 0.55mm, the LXMS-198 is capable of withstanding over-molding and embedded processes and provides tracking and […]
PA module, adaptive aperture tuner and filters optimized for 600 MHz LF band
Qualcomm Technologies’ additions to the RF Front-End (RFFE) portfolio are designed to allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to rapidly build mobile devices that support new operator deployments of Band 71, a 600 MHz low-frequency band. This prime spectrum brings greater capacity to mobile operators’ networks, in addition to enhanced outdoor coverage and indoor penetration. Smartphones, […]
Zigbee-based gateway for next-generation smart lighting control
Cortet by CEL announces the new E100 Gateway – a very compact, ZigBee-based wireless Gateway that provides both local and IoT based control for a wide range of lighting devices, accessories, fixtures, controllers and switches for small or medium scale commercial facilities. This means that lighting throughout the entire building can be controlled locally by a […]
Bluetooth Smart modules get bigger packet size, better bonding
AMBER wireless GmbH, a Würth Elektronik eiSos Group company, expands the functionality of its AMB2621 Bluetooth Smart Module: The packet size for payload data transmission is raised from 128 to 243 bytes. Additionally, the extremely compact and energy-saving wireless module now has a bonding option. In use, this allows the pairing key to be stored […]
Software-defined radio module integrates
RF signal path and high-speed programmable logic
Avnet, Inc. introduced the PicoZed SDR Z7035/AD9361, a rugged, low-power, small footprint system-on-module (SOM) that integrates critical RF signal path and high-speed programmable logic, enabling designers to dramatically reduce cycle times for development of the RF-to-baseband signal processing core for wireless communications systems. The fully verified PicoZed Software-Defined Radio SOM provides frequency-agile wideband 2×2 receive […]
