The latest Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) system-on-chip from STMicroelectronics is expected to accelerate the spread of connected smart objects throughout homes, shopping areas, industry, toys and gaming, personal healthcare and infrastructure, according to the company.

Bluetooth Low Energy wireless technology enables consumers to interact with any BLE-enabled object from their own devices. Similarly, service providers can conveniently connect assets to the cloud for service delivery and data collection.

The BlueNRG-2 chip includes a power-efficient programmable processor and low-power features including an ultrafrugal standby mode. The high RF signal strength saves system power, while the on-chip memory for BLE software and application code simplifies system design by saving external memory components.

The product is Bluetooth 5.0 certified, which ensures interoperability with the latest generation of smartphones, and supports enhanced features such as security, privacy and extended packet length for faster data transfer. An optionally available software development kit (SDK) features the BlueNRG Navigator graphical user interface (GUI), which makes it easy for designers and innovators to create connected devices.
