Future Electronics Offers the World’s Next Great Technology: Bluetooth Low Energy from Panasonic

Montreal, Quebec ( beforeitsnews ) October 28, 2013 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, announces immediate availability of Bluetooth Low Energy from Panasonic.

Bluetooth Low Energy is an ultra-low power wireless network technology capable of forming truly wireless networks. To be truly wireless, a technology must be capable of operating from a battery — not for days or months, but years. Bluetooth Low Energy accomplishes this goal and does it using a small coin cell.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was designed to be free of interoperability constraints, to move data quickly and securely using the least amount of power possible. This is achieved primarily by keeping the Bluetooth radio off as much as possible and by keeping the data load small, so when the radio is active it’s on for only a tiny amount of time.

Panasonic has eight different Bluetooth Low Energy solutions to address a wide range of application requirements. Both single mode, Bluetooth Low Energy and dual mode, Bluetooth Low Energy plus Bluetooth Classic modules are available:

PAN1720 – Single Mode, Bluetooth Low Energy

PAN1721 – Single Mode, Ultra-Low Power Bluetooth Low Energy

PAN1326 – Dual Mode, Host Controlled Interface Bluetooth Low Energy plus Bluetooth Classic

Cost engineered host controlled interface modules are well suited for high volume applications. Modules may be ordered with or without an integrated antenna for maximum design flexibility. Availability of USB, UART and I2C interfaces simplify integration to existing designs.
