Mouser has announced a new eBook in collaboration with STMicroelectronics, providing an in-depth look at wireless connectivity.
The plethora of new and pre-existing connected IoT and IIoT devices, gateways, and sensors need wireless technology to be dependable and compatible with many wireless protocols. This requirement will only grow as more technologies, such as connected vehicles, medical and wearable devices, and wireless charging, fully mature. In 'Beyond the Wires: Exploring Bluetooth and LoRaWAN Connectivity', experts from STMicroelectronics discuss the evolution of the Bluetooth Low Energy and LoRaWAN wireless standards and their benefits.
The eBook presents many use cases, from remote sensor networks to smart cities and homes, agriculture, and public entertainment. Special needs for security, private networks, long-range communications, and more are also discussed. The eBook also highlights relevant products from STMicroelectronics, including the company's industry-leading RF SoC solutions, modules, and development tools, all available from Mouser.
The STM32WBA5 multiprotocol wireless radio MCU features a powerful Arm Cortex-M33 core and is certified for the Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 protocol, Zigbee R23, and OpenThread 1.3. It offers an ultra-low-power platform and inherited digital/analogue peripherals suited for many applications, from industrial to smart home and consumer markets.
The STM32WLE5 wireless long-range microcontroller embeds a powerful, ultra-low-power LPWAN radio solution consisting of LoRa, (G)FSK, (G)MSK and BPSK. The Arm core of this MCU implements a full set of DSP instructions and an independent MPU that improves application security.
The NUCLEO-WBA55CG Nucleo-64 board eases prototyping applications with the STM32WBA5 wireless microcontroller. Arduino Uno V3 connectivity support and ST morpho headers enable functionality expansion with a wide choice of specialised shields.
