Silicon Labs Releases New Wireless Software That Supports Bluetooth and Sub-GHz IoT Device Communication
Silicon Labs has released a new version of its Wireless Gecko product family that enables simultaneous Sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) connectivity on a single chip. This Silicon Labs solution supports commercial and industrial IoT applications, combining long-range Sub-GHz communications with Bluetooth connectivity, simplifying device setup, data acquisition, and maintenance. By eliminating the complexity of a two-chip wireless architecture, developers can accelerate time-to-market and reduce bill of materials (BOM) cost and footprint by up to 40%.
With Silicon Labs' new Wireless Gecko hardware and software solution, users can use mobile applications to set up, control and monitor Sub-GHz IoT devices directly via Bluetooth. By adding a Bluetooth LE connection to a wireless network in the Sub-GHz band, developers can offer more new features such as faster Over-the-Air (OTA) and the use of Bluetooth beacons to deploy a scalable location-based service infrastructure .
The proprietary Sub-GHz protocol is typically used for low data rate systems, from simple point-to-point connections to large mesh networks and low power wide area networks (LPWAN), with extended transmission range, powerful radio links, and energy efficiency. Prioritized. Sub-GHz connections are ideal for long-range wireless sensor networks, smart metering, home and building automation, and commercial lighting. Silicon Labs' Wireless Gecko solution can easily add Bluetooth LE connectivity to these Sub-GHz applications.
Lee Ratliff, Senior Principal Analyst at IHS Markit Connections and IoT, said: Sub-GHz wireless protocols are widely used in smart energy, industrial and commercial applications. Bluetooth is widely supported in mobile devices, which has spawned the need for multi-band, multi-protocol wireless solutions that bridge the gap between Bluetooth LE and Sub-GHz proprietary protocols, allowing traditional applications to make full use of mobile The power of the device ecosystem. ”
Dennis Natale, vice president and general manager of IoT products at Silicon Labs, said: “The new Silicon Labs software makes it easier to build and manage a variety of Sub-GHz wireless devices in the field through easy-to-use mobile applications and Bluetooth connectivity. Our Wireless The Gecko product family provides a single-chip solution that reduces design costs, simplifies hardware and software development, and accelerates time to market."
Silicon Labs is a leading supplier of silicon, software and solutions dedicated to building a smarter, more connected world. The company has more than 20 years of experience in delivering integrated RF solutions and has provided more than 750 million wireless chips for IoT endpoints.
Price and Availability
Silicon Labs' new multi-protocol software is now available for customers using Silicon Labs EFR32MG and EFR32BG Wireless Gecko SoC.
