Jorjin\u2019s WS2116 Sigfox+BLE modules benefit from the market-leading performance and energy efficiency of ST\u2019s BlueNRG-2 BLE System-on-Chip (SoC) and S2-LP sub-1GHz RF transceiver. These advantages have enabled Jorjin\u2019s modules to deliver cutting-edge connectivity and great battery lifetime, with coin-cell-operated or energy-harvesting IoT applications in mind. <\/p>\n
As fully programmable devices, Jorjin\u2019s new Sigfox modules exploit the ultra-low power Arm\u00ae Cortex\u00ae-M0 technology embedded in ST\u2019s BLE SoC with 256KB flash memory to act as independent IoT connectivity nodes. The combination of BLE with Sigfox\u2019s 0G network provides new functions to IoT systems, such as firmware updates over-the-air, which was not possible with conventional \u2018Sigfox-only\u2019 modules. <\/p>\n
Other benefits of having an IoT device connected both remotely through the Sigfox network and locally through BLE, include the possibility to modify device settings during installation or maintenance, or to trace assets, which often change positions inside an area covered with BLE beacon stations. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs long-term partners of Sigfox and STMicroelectronics in the IOT market, it\u2019s exciting to achieve global roaming capabilities for our modules with the Monarch version, so as to catch the booming logistics tracking market. We definitely believe the Sigfox Monarch solution will play an important role in the worldwide logistics business.<\/em>\u201d said Tom Liang, Chairman at Jorjin Technologies Inc.<\/strong> Jorjin, a leading wireless connectivity module manufacturer has announced the receiving of the Sigfox Verified certification for WS2116, Sigfox Monarch +BLE module. This unique Sigfox Monarch Module features an inter-continental tracking function for solutions such as asset trackers, pallet trackers, container trackers, trolley trackers, luggage trackers and many other devices such as wearables, security buttons, panic buttons, alert buttons and air quality sensors etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4191,"template":"","class_list":["post-4050","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"\n
