Cypress Provides Robust Wireless Connectivity for Raspberry Pi 3B+ | IoT Single Board Computers

On March 15th, Cypress announced that its Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® combo solutions provide powerful and stable wireless connectivity for the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ IoT single-board computer. The CYW43455 single-chip combo solution provides faster, high-performance 802.11ac Wi-Fi network connectivity, advanced coexistence algorithms for Bluetooth and Bluetooth low-power (BLE) synchronization operations such as audio and video streaming, and Smart phones, sensors and Bluetooth Mesh networks with low-power BLE connectivity. The combo's high-speed 802.11ac transmission capability enables superior network performance, faster download speeds and better coverage, with fast deep sleep mode Lower power consumption. The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board is based on the successful Raspberry Pi solution using Cypress's CYW43438 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo system (SoC).

802.11ac-based Wi-Fi networks can simultaneously achieve low latency and high transmission speeds, and also feature secure device communication, making it an ideal wireless technology for connecting devices directly to the cloud. Built-in highly integrated Cypress CYW43455 combo SoC's Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board enables developers to quickly build industrial IoT systems and prototypes of smart homes that can take advantage of 802.11ac.

Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said: 'Reliable wireless connectivity in crowded frequency bands is a primary concern for developers of industrial IoT and smart home systems, so we chose Sepp for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board. Rascom's 802.11ac combo SoC. Our new board uses a high-performance, interoperable and highly reliable 802.11ac Wi-Fi for a wide range of IoT products.

Brian Bedrosian, vice president of marketing for Cypress’s IoT business unit, said: “The Raspberry Pi uses Cypress connectivity products to create a leading IoT development board. So far, millions of units have been sold. The new Raspberry Pi3 The B+ board brings the advantages of Cypress 802.11ac Wi-Fi to more IoT developers and covers a wide range of applications. Our 802.11ac combo SoC enables IoT products in crowded 2.4-GHz bands Easily cope with coexistence challenges and provide a cleaner environment for audio, video and voice control data while improving network performance in multi-user environments. ' Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board with 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core processor, 1GB RAM , Full size HDMI and 4 standard USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet on USB2, Power over Ethernet, CSI camera connector and DSI display connector. The platform resources and its 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth/BLE wireless connection , Provides a compact, intelligent solution for connected devices.

The Cypress CYW43455 SoC is available in dual 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and provides 20, 40 and 80 MHz channels with performance up to 433 Mbps. The high throughput of 802.11ac allows devices to connect to the network faster, avoid network congestion, and pass Extend the device's deep sleep mode to extend battery life. SoC includes Linux Open Source Full Media Access Control (FMAC) driver support with enterprise and industrial features, security, roaming, voice and location capabilities.

The Cypress CYW43455 SoC and other solutions support Bluetooth Mesh networks, enabling low-cost, low-power device mesh networks through simple, secure and ubiquitous Bluetooth connectivity, enabling devices to communicate with each other, as well as with smartphones. Communication between tablets and voice-controlled home aids. The Bluetooth Mesh enables battery-powered devices in the network to communicate with each other, even in the largest homes, so that users can control all devices in their hands. Cypress Integrated comprehensive one-stop embedded device Wireless Internet Connectivity (WICED®) software development kit (SDK) supports the development of this SoC, which simplifies the integration of wireless technology for IoT developers.
