Würth Elektronik has introduced Skoll-I: a compact wireless module that combines both Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) version 5.4 in a single solution. Measuring just 16.6 × 12 × 1.7 mm, the module is already certified for conformity in all major target markets, accelerating the launch of new applications.
This latest module from the company with integrated antenna is suitable for use in medical devices, industrial automation and control systems, in security technology and IoT clients such as cost-efficient predictive maintenance. These applications typically require energy-efficient operation.
Combining Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE in a compact module offers a unique opportunity for developing devices that need to connect to both legacy and modern devices. Skoll-I also provides an easy way to replace the Puck-I Bluetooth module, which can no longer be qualified for new developments due to the withdrawal of the Bluetooth 2.0 specification.
Skoll-I complies with Bluetooth Core Specification Version 5.4 and supports BR, EDR 2/3 Mbps, Bluetooth LE, and LE 1/2 Mbps. The module is certified to CE, FCC, IC, TELEC, and ETA-WPC standards.
The WE Bluetooth LE Terminal App offers a quick and easy way of testing as well as the basis for developing new, custom apps. Additional services include the Wireless Connectivity software development kit (SDK), the WE UART terminal, and an evaluation board that can be easily connected to a PC to provide access to all module pins for testing.
