Sena Technologies
Parani-BCD100
Sena Technologies has announced the addition of the Bluetooth v2.0+EDR Class 1 OEM module Parani-BCD100 to its Parani series industrial Bluetooth product line.
The BCD100 is a Bluetooth Class 1 OEM module for OEM manufacturers who want to cost-effectively implement Bluetooth Class 1 functionality into their products.
OEM manufacturers can build their own antenna circuit around the BCD100 to lower the overall cost, while benefiting from its standard SPP (Serial Port Profile) firmware.
The BCD100 supports Class 1 Bluetooth transmission level for communication distance ranges from 100m up to 1km.
It also supports UART, USB, I2C, PCM and PIO interfaces for communication with OEM products.
The BCD100 is provided with Bluetooth v2.0-compatible firmware.
The SPP firmware supports up to four simultaneous connections and is designed to work out of box for real-world SPP applications, such as POS (point of sale), industrial automation and remote metering.
The BCD100 can be supplied with a software stack up to HCI level, or OEM manufacturers can develop and embed their own firmware into the BCD100.
The BCD100 is fully qualified with Bluetooth v2.0+EDR specification, making it suitable for larger-volume and cost-sensitive applications.
