Imec, Holst Centre and Wicentric introduced their integrated ultra-low power Bluetooth Smart radio solution for a range of smart applications. With a power consumption up to five times lower than state-of-the-art radios and an extremely small memory footprint, this radio solution, integrating imec and Holst Centre’s 2.4GHz ultra-low power radio and Wicentric’s exactLE product line of Bluetooth Smart software, leads the way to new Internet of Things applications such as personal health monitoring systems and smart home applications.

Autonomous wireless sensor systems running on batteries or energy harvested in the environment can be used for personal health monitoring, smart homes, intelligent cars and for monitoring machines, buildings or the environment. However, practical applications for wireless sensor networks largely depend on their size, autonomy and power consumption.

Imec and Holst Centre’s Bluetooth Smart compliant 2.4GHz short-range radio is three to five times more power efficient compared to today’s available Bluetooth Smart radios that consume between 50 and 85 percent of the overall power consumption of a sensor system.

Combining imec and Holst Centre’s ultra-low power Bluetooth Smart compliant radio with Wicentric’s efficient and comprehensive Bluetooth Smart software delivers a complete and highly integrated solution that is available for licensing.
