LONDON, Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a global
enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the
BL871E2-HI, a dual-mode Bluetooth 4.2 host controller interface
module with embedded chip antenna and audio support. The
ultra-compact component is optimized for efficiency and simplicity
in end-device design, delivering reliable Bluetooth functionalities
with robust endpoint security, leveraging the processing power and
external Bluetooth stack of the host application processor.
The module includes certifications, all hardware features that
reduce development costs, bill of materials, and time to
market.

Ideal for quick-turn projects, the BL871E2-HI seamlessly speeds
up device design across a wide range of industrial and consumer
applications areas. The 9.7x10.1mm, 18-pad LCC component delivers
basic rate (BR), enhanced data rate (EDR) and low-energy (LE)
connectivity, for applications such as scanners & printers,
mobile point of sales, m-healthcare, industrial gateways, and for
audio equipped devices across all areas of the electronics
industry.
The BL871E2-HI is SRCC (Radio Transmission Equipment Type
Approval – China), RED (Radio
Equipment Directive Compliance – Europe) and FCC (Federal Communication
Commission Type Approval – USA)
certified; and is qualified and listed as a Bluetooth 4.2
controller subsystem. It integrates the company's portfolio of
Bluetooth modules, directly addressing the demand from the rapidly
growing BT/BLE-IoT market.
"We are seeing a significant increase in the number of device
manufacturers across a broad set of industries looking to update
and refresh their products with Bluetooth connectivity," explained
Sandro Spanghero, Telit Senior VP of Global Product Management.
"With the BL871E2, we are responding to this demand rise. The new
product is ideal in these cases because it is an accomplished, very
small and low-cost RF frond-end module that connects to the
processor already designed into the host device, delivering
full-featured Bluetooth connectivity for up to seven active
concurrent connections."
The BL871E2-HI is a hardware-only product. It requires no
additional external supporting components to deliver Bluetooth
functionality to the host device. The required Bluetooth stack is
not included with the module to maximize bill-of-material
flexibility. Either a customer-provided or Telit-sourced Blue
Code +SR protocol stack must be made to run in the host
processing environment to complete the solution.
In addition to efficient performance and low power consumption,
BL871E2-HI includes value-added features that further streamline
development:
- Supports Android, Linux and Windows Bluetooth stacks
- Class 1 TX power up to +12 dBm
- Receiver Sensitivity: -95 dBm
- UART, PCM and I²S interfaces
- BR/EDR 128-bit hardware encryption accelerator
- Scatternet: Up to 3 simultaneous piconets - 1 master and 2
slaves
- Fast Automatic Frequency Hopping (AFH) algorithm
- Support for all voice air-coding schemes
- Assisted mode for HFP 1.6 Wideband Speech (WBS)
Integrators and manufacturers designing with the BL871E2-HI have
access to comprehensive development and integration tools including
a Raspberry PI 2-based evaluation and development kit with
extensive software and support resources.
