Bluetooth 4.2 Low-Energy Modules

Our BM70 and BM71 Bluetooth 4.2 Low-Energy modules are designed for easy implementation into a broad range of applications. Supporting the latest Bluetooth standard, the modules deliver up to 2.5x throughput improvement and more secure connections vs. Bluetooth 4.1 based products. Developers can easily interface to the device via a standard UART interface. The modules have a completely integrated Bluetooth software stack; the BM70 is available in a shielded regulatory certified version with built-in antenna. Developers are freed from the complexities of Bluetooth software and RF development and can simply utilise the module as a wireline replacement.

Perfect for IoT (Internet of Things) applications, when interfaced to a BLE enabled smartphone or Bluetooth Internet Gateway, applications can be monitored, controlled and updated from anywhere in the world.

BM70 is available today. BM71 is due for release by the end of November.

We are able to support qualified customers on the corresponding Bluetooth LE RF ICs (IS1870 and IS1871).
