The first Bluetooth Low Energy SoC from STMicroelectronics has been announced. The BlueNRG-1 has an integrated radio transceiver, claimed to be extremely power-efficient in the modes frequently used by devices such as beacons when setting up short-duration connections for exchanges like sharing offers with shoppers’ smartphones. The ability to transition quickly between power-saving and active modes extends battery life from months to years. In addition, RF-output power is boosted to +8dBm to ensure clear and reliable communication for optimum efficiency, even in noisy environments.
