BLE 4.2 Long Range Modules Enable Long Range Connectivity for the IoT

Fully qualified/certified BT 4.2 modules from Infineon allow for wireless communication of up to 400 m line-of-sight for a wide variety of next generation IoT devices

Image of Infineon's long-range BT 4.2 modulesInfineon's EZ-BLE™ PRoC™ extended range (XR) BT 4.2 modules (CYBLE-2X20XX-X1) are fully qualified/certified (FCC, CE, MIC, KC, IC) Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules supporting BLE wireless communication, for up to 400 m line-of-sight connectivity. These modules are fully Bluetooth 4.2 compliant. In addition, these turnkey IoT solutions are highly integrated by including an onboard PA, LNA, two crystal oscillators, and passive components. They support a number of peripheral functions (ADC, timers, counters, PWM) and serial communication protocols (I2C, UART, SPI) through a programmable architecture.

Long Range BLE Connectivity for Next Generation IoT Applications
Although Bluetooth has historically been known as a short-range wireless protocol,  BLE is being leveraged in a variety of IoT applications due to its low power, long range capabilities. Infineon provides BLE solutions to customers to innovate in these fields, using turnkey, easy-to-use modules that significantly reduce time-to-market. Some target applications include BLE connectivity in lighting, industrial, medical, and the IoT that spans all markets.
