BT111 Bluetooth Smart Ready HCI module has +8 dBm transmit power, approximately -90dBm received sensitivity, and dimensions of 13.05 x 9.3 x 2.3mm with an integrated chip antenna.
“We were able to take advantage of our expertise in making wireless modules when we designed the BT111. The goal was to design a really small Bluetooth 4.0 module without sacrificing the radio performance. I think we did a an excellent job here, since BT111 is twenty percent smaller than our similar, existing solutions and still provides better RF performance“, says Riku Mettälä, VP of Engineering.
The new Bluegiga BT111 module will also be Bluetooth, CE, FCC, IC, South-Korea, and Japan qualified and offers proven radio operation and minimal qualification costs.
