In today’s interconnected era, the development of wireless technology is changing our lives and work styles at an unprecedented speed. Among them, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology has rapidly gained widespread market recognition due to its significant advantages of low power consumption, low cost, and easy integration. With the continuous expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the demand for smarter and more energy-efficient wireless solutions is growing, providing a broad stage for Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
The KAGA FEI Bluetooth Low Energy module EC4L15BA1 comes with a built-in antenna and has obtained multiple certifications. Therefore, it can shorten the development time of next-generation wireless IoT products (such as industrial IoT, medical/healthcare products, and sports/fitness sensors) and lower certification costs, thus accelerating the time to market.
In addition, this product supports PSA*1 certification, which helps in easily developing IoT devices that meet high-security requirements. Mass production is expected to start in June 2025. The company will continue to respond to market demands and expand its product lineup.
Features of EC4L15BA1
-
Low Power Consumption
This module is equipped with low-power operating components, significantly reducing the power consumption required for communication. For example, the receive current is about half that of the EC2832AA2 module equipped with nRF52832.
-
High Processing Power, Advanced Security Level
This module includes a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor, 1.5MB non-volatile memory, and 256KB RAM, achieving over twice the processing power of the EC2832AA2. Furthermore, PSA Level 3 certification ensures it meets high-security demands.
-
Multi-Protocol
It not only supports Bluetooth Low Energy but also the Thread and Matter standards*2. Additionally, it can communicate using a proprietary 4Mbps mode.
-
Built-in Antenna and Pre-Certification
With a built-in antenna, there is no need to redesign the antenna. It has obtained Bluetooth qualification and certifications from Radio Law MIC (Japan), FCC (USA), and ISED (Canada), saving time and costs.
