Panasonic team for Bluetooth mesh module demonstrator
Panasonic is working with a range of European companies on a demo system for Bluetooth mesh networking.
The company approached Finnish mesh firmware innovators Wirepas to integrate their patented advanced mesh connectivity into the PAN1780, a Bluetooth 5 Low Energy Module that is based on the Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52840 single-chip controller.
Now it is working with Symbiotech in Australia on a Bluetooth mesh demonstration kit using the technology.
The PAN1780 Wirepas Mesh Demo Kit consists of four battery-powered sensor nodes and a sink, allowing you to set up a Wirepas Mesh network at any time and at any place. The optimised chip antenna of the PAN1780 provides a sensor node with a long wireless transmission range.
Symbiotech, as Wirepas Mesh experts, developed software that enables an extremely easy set-up of the demonstration, with a user interface that shows sensor data, offers control and gives insight into the network health.
- Panasonic extends NXP deal for Wi-Fi 5 Bluetooth 5 .
- Bluetooth 5 Low Energy module for harsh environments
- Bluetooth 5.0 low energy module outputs up to +8dBm
The PAN1780 hardware design paired with Wirepas’ multi-hop wireless mesh technology and combined with Symbiotech’s tailored software design allows an easy and quick entry into the world of mesh applications
“We are happy now having added another benefit to our PAN1780 module and being able to offer a comprehensive and ultimately simple asset for mesh network based IoT applications,” said Tomislav Tipura from the Panasonic Industry Europe Wireless Connectivity department in Ottobrunn near Munich.
“Standing for highest design flexibility at lowest energy consumption in standalone mode, the PAN1780 is the perfect device for this collaborative solution. It will suit our customers’ requirements most easily – at minimized total costs of ownership for next-gen IoT connectivity,” Tipura continues.
“We are very glad to see our partners Panasonic Industry and Symbiotech come together with this interesting offering. This can really help to accelerate the design cycles for Wirepas end-users”, says Oula Välipakka, Head of Partner Growth at Wirepas.
