BlueRadios® and Stonestreet One Deliver Bluetooth® 4.0 Dual Mode Low Energy Module

Englewood, CO and Louisville, KY – April 27, 2011 —  BlueRadios, Inc. and Stonestreet One together introduce Blue Bridge®BR-LE4.0-D2A, a completely self-contained Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode low energy module which utilizes the Texas Instruments CC2564 base band chip, integrating antenna, radio, MSP430 microcontroller, and fully integrated Bluetopia® software stack into an 11.8×17.6×1.9mm package. In addition, BlueRadios is introducing a pin-for-pin compatible nBlue BR-LE4.0-S2A single modenano ampere network module with the TI CC2540 processor. Both modules are fully compliant with FCC and CE EMC requirements.

Both of these innovative new low energy modules require no external supporting components and are small enough to fit into highly space constrained applications, such as watches, health and fitness sensors, remote controls and key fob style devices. The firmware design allows the modules to be controlled by an external microcontroller using AT commands or by custom applications loaded directly onto the module.

Bluetooth low energy, part of Bluetooth Ver. 4.0, specifies two types of implementation: single mode and dual mode. Single mode chips implement the low energy specification and consume just a fraction of the power of classic Bluetooth, allowing the short-range wireless standard to extend to coin cell battery applications.  Dual mode chips combine low energy with the power of classic Bluetooth and are likely to become a de facto feature in almost all new Bluetooth enabled cellular phones and computers. Since Bluetooth low energy technology is an interoperable standard, the BlueRadios modules will be able to communicate with both single and dual mode devices from all manufacturers.

“Our clients buy our products because they are reliable and easy to integrate, enabling them to quickly deploy cost-effective solutions,” said Mark Kramer, President and Founder of BlueRadios.

“We are excited about this joint venture with BlueRadios to bring to market a complete Bluetooth 4.0 dual mode low energy module that combines the strengths of our two companies: software expertise from Stonestreet One and module making expertise from BlueRadios,” said Tim Reilly, President of Stonestreet One.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
