Adopted the advanced technology of ST's BlueNRG-1 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) System-on-Chip (SoC) and S2-LP Sub-1GHz wireless transceivers, Sacred WS211X series Sigfox and low power The Bluetooth (BLE) dual-function module enables Zuojun's modules to provide innovative wireless communication technologies and emphasize energy-saving IoT applications.
Sakao's Sigfox module incorporates ST's ultra-low power Arm® Cortex®-M0 MCU platform, which independently supports system operation. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Sigfox Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) The combination can support several important functions in the IoT system at the same time, for example: The firmware can be updated via Bluetooth Low-Power (BLE) Download (Over-the-air, OTA). This feature only supports Sigfox single-mode modules. Can't complete the situation. In addition, using Sigfox and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) dual-function modules, Sigfox can connect long distances and support Bluetooth low energy (BLE) close range transmission at the same time, to achieve a lot of networking setup installation and maintenance Set up, or for a combination of different applications such as Bluetooth Beacon positioning, asset tracking through this module.
Sakao Chairman Liang Wenlong said: “We are very pleased that our company's first low-power wide-area network Sigfox and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) dual-function module can be certified. STMicroelectronics Sigfox team support We are very helpful to us. We look forward to the long-term cooperation between the two parties in the future and we are very confident.'
STMicroelectronics simulations, Maria Rosa Borghi, Director of Low-Power RF, MEMS Sensor Products, further stated: 'High-efficiency, low-power dual-function modules have been successfully developed and certified by Sigfox, and are an important milestone for our cooperation with Sato. . Product designers can now use the most advanced, innovative design solutions to build market-accepted, low-power networking products that support multiple wireless.
Raouti Chehih, Director of Construction of the Sigfox Ecosystem said: 'We are very pleased to welcome Sasaki to continue to expand the Sigfox ecosystem and to join hands again with STMicroelectronics to accelerate the promotion of various applications of the Internet of Things. The Sasaki module has been successfully certified. Let us accelerate the development of Sigfox networking equipment to quickly keep up with the growing market demand.
The development board of the Sasaki WS211X series module uses the Arduino interface to facilitate rapid development and can be directly connected to Arduino development boards such as STMicroelectronics MEMS motion sensors, environmental sensors or optical sensors (ToF). The software development kit is now complete. Developers quickly learn about the WS211X series of modules and the use of STMicroelectronics Sensor Development Boards. In addition, Sato also provides an AT command table that allows customers to test the module's low-power Bluetooth (BLE) and low-power WAN Sigfox functions.
