Delivering Ultra-Low Power IoT for the Real World
Medical Devices
The BL654 excels in mission-critical environments like hospitals, providing secure wireless connectivity for medical peripherals.
Industrial Automation
Sensor data can provide deep insights needed to maintain energy efficiency and productivity within factories and manufacturing plants. Monitor and control temperatures, energy usage, output, downtime vs. uptime, and other critical metrics.
Remote Security Monitoring
The BL654 excels with home security devices like door, window, and air-quality sensors. A BL654-powered home security system can broadcast its status regularly to a monitoring base. As many as eight peripherals can be connected to the system via Bluetooth Low Energy, creating a hub of smart BLE home sensors.
Connected Appliances
Securely and remotely take control over household appliances like refrigerators, dish washers, coffer makers and more. Monitor and automatically get notified about food stock levels, energy usage and dishwasher status to create a more productive lifestyle.
Make Wireless Easy to Deploy
Greater Flexibility to Meet the Challenges of Wireless Design
BLE has a lot to offer to developers. Unfortunately, if you have little or no experience programing for BLE, the barrier to entry for design can be expensive and lengthen your development time in a landscape where speed to market is key. That’s why developers choose Laird.
We ensure that our customers can maintain focus on the elements of their unique product’s value that will win them customers and drive revenue, freeing them from the headaches of wireless design and certification that can slow down their product development process. Our team understands what it takes to bring winning products to market, providing customers with outstanding documentation resources, development tools, technical support, and extensive product implementation support.
Bluetooth 5 Connectivity
With up to 4x the range, 2x the speed, and 8x the broadcasting message capacity, Bluetooth 5 has a lot to offer developers. The BL654 fully supports all three topline Bluetooth 5 features with support for TI SDK 5 releases including, LE Long Range, LE 2MBps PHY, and Extended Broadcast Message Capacity.
Industrial Temp-Rated Hardware
Industrial environments introduce a host of challenges for wireless solutions including extreme temperatures and humidity. Laird’s BL654 can operate in industrial temperatures ranging from -40° to +85° C, ensuring reliable connectivity in harsh operating environments.
