Suitable for applications requiring built-in sensors

Telit announced the launch of the BlueMod+S42M, the industry's first MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) sensor-based Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 4.2 module.

The 'BlueMod+S42M' supports standalone operation in single mode. This cost-effective component, featuring a built-in 3-axis accelerometer and temperature/humidity sensor, is optimized for efficiency and simplicity in device design and manufacturing.

It supports stable BLE functions with strong endpoint security features and motion and environmental sensors, helping customers reduce development costs and BoM (Bill of Materials) costs and shorten the time required to launch products.

Suitable for large-scale projects, the BlueMod+S42M is optimized for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. Time- and temperature-sensitive applications, such as monitoring expensive, fragile assets or cold chains in the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors, require built-in sensors.

“The success of IoT applications requiring efficient BLE solutions hinges on three factors: cost, power, and stability,” said Hee-chul Kim, Telit’s Managing Director for Domestic Sales. “For any developer constrained by tight development schedules, component and manufacturing costs, Telit’s high-quality modules are very accessible. The strength of the BlueMod+S42M lies in its simplicity.” “It offers a variety of advantages, including a single-chip SoC, a variety of feature packs, reasonable price, excellent power-saving features, and wide interoperability,” he said.

The BlueMod+S42M features a standalone system-on-chip (SoC) that requires no external components, along with an onboard microcontroller, integrated chip antenna, passive components, temperature and humidity sensors, and an accelerometer. It offers a wealth of features, including simultaneous support for the GATT interface and Terminal I/O profile.
