Akron, Ohio – October 8, 2019 – Laird Connectivity, a global leader in wireless technology, has announced the new Sentrius™ BT510 Bluetooth v5 Long Range sensor, which delivers robust, reliable sensor data in the harshest environments. This new solution provides Bluetooth v5 connectivity in a small, low cost footprint making it an ideal solution for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The Sentrius™ BT510 is the next-generation of packaged sensor products developed by Laird Connectivity. This rugged, coin cell-powered sensor platform delivers multi-function sensing, including environmental temperature, open/close (contact), motion/impact detection, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beaconing capabilities. Powered with a CR2477 battery, the sensor can last for years in the field and the IP67-certified twist off casing simplifies maintenance. It is also supported with mobile applications from Android and iOS to easily configure all settings of the platform.
Building on the success of Laird Connectivity’s wireless modules, the BT510 is powered by Laird Connectivity’s BL654 BLE module that integrates Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52840 silicon. This provides excellent processing capability for feature rich application development in the Cortex M4F with 1MB Flash, enabling sensor data logging and storage.
EARLY INVESTIGATION CONCEPT EVAL WITH TEAM
PHASE 1: DEVELOPMENT OF TWIST CONCEPT.
Seen as initial way to go whilst technical data on antenna design being researched alongside user requirements
PHASE 2: DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLER TWO PIECE TWIST CONCEPT.
After further feedback from business development team/ marketing, and antenna development, new criteria were included and design was updated to fit these user requirements, also consideration for simpler manufacturing assembly and details to pass IP 65/67 rating.
PHASE 3: MANUFACTURING DETAIL, ASSEMBLY and FINAL ANTENNA DETAILS
SCALE OF PRODUCT AND DESIGN OF PCB WITH REED SWITCH / ANTENNA
SLA SAMPLES OF CAD
CAD ISSUED MANUFACTURE: Completed and checked for manufacture.
LINE EXTENSIONS: Similar concept to above, but with different product specification.
