    Choosing Between Bluetooth LE Module and SoC: A Comprehensive Guide
    Choosing between a Bluetooth LE module and a System-on-Chip (SoC) is a critical but challenging decision in Bluetooth device design. Each option offers its own set of benefits and drawbacks, making it essential to carefully weigh performance, features, and costs. As a seasoned expert in Bluetooth technology, RF-star aims to simplify the decision-making process by providing an in-depth comparison of Bluetooth chipsets versus modules. This guide will help you to make the best choice based on your production volumes, technical expertise, budget, and time-to-market. What is a Bluetooth SoC ? A Bluetooth System-on-Chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit (IC) that facilitates Bluetooth communication within a device. It typically includes a core processor, RF transceiver, memory, and auxiliary circuits. The SoC serves as the heart of Bluetooth communication, managing data transmission and processing. What is a Bluetooth Module? In contrast, a BluetoothLE module is a pre-certified unit that acts as a comprehensive and low-power Bluetooth communication solution. It integrates a Bluetooth LE SoC with additional components such as RF circuits, crystal oscillators, antenna matching circuits, antennas, Balun, and peripheral interfaces on a printed circuit board (PCB). The module is a pre-packaged, plug-and-play solution that significantly simplifies product development, allowing developers to focus on higher-level product functionality without worrying about the underlying RF design. TI CC2340 SoC & RF-star RF-BM-2340B1 Module Samples Bluetooth LE Module vs. SoC: A Detailed Comparison We’ll use the following key metrics to compare the differences between Bluetooth LE module and SoC: Function Ease of use Application Cost 1. Functional Differences A Bluetooth SoC provides the essential functionalities for Bluetooth communication but requires additional peripheral components to create a fully operational system. Developers who choose a SoC must design and implement the necessary RF circuitry, power management, and embedded software. This level of customization is beneficial in situations when the product’s form factor, power consumption, and performance must be finely tuned. However, it also means that the development cycle will be longer, and the project may require a team with specialized expertise in RF design and embedded software development. Conversely, Bluetooth modules come with integrated peripheral RF circuitry and relevant embedded software, such as Bluetooth 5.0 serial port firmware, UART direct-driven firmware, SPI transparent transmission firmware, and I2C firmware. Developers can use an external MCU to control the Bluetooth connectivity directly, significantly reducing both the workload and complexity of product development. It allows developers to focus on the application layer and integrate Bluetooth connectivity into their products more quickly.

    Wi-SUN - A Priority for Large-Scale IoT Wireless Communication Networks
    Introduction The digital revolution has brought the Internet of Things (IoT) into the fabric of our daily lives. Wi-SUN technology, celebrated for its robust performance and versatile applications, has become a favored option for large-scale IoT implementations. This article explores the Wi-SUN technology market, its main benefits, use cases and applications, and RF-star’s implementation of Wi-SUN. Wi-SUN Technology Market Recent Wi-SUN Technology Market Research Report by Business Research Insight and Market Research Future indicate that the global Wi-SUN technology market, valued at USD 319.27 million in 2022, is predicted to reach USD 14.568 billion at a whopping 13.45% CAGR between 2024-2032. This surge is fueled by ongoing proliferation of smart meters, sensors, and IoT devices, as well as the accelerated digital transformation spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, North America stands out as a region with significant adoption of Wi-SUN technology. Figure1:Wi-SUN Technology Market Size, 2023-2032 (USD Billion) Source: https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/wi-sun-technology-market-8695 Wi-SUN Overview What is Wi-SUN? Wi-SUN, or Wireless Smart Ubiquitous Network, is a wireless communication network based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It delivers a high-performance, low-power, long-range, robust anti-interference, high data throughput, and highly secure wireless communication solution. As a mesh network, it facilitates long-distance communication and high-data transmission between IoT devices through frequency-hopping and self-configuration technology. The network also features self-healing capability. Wi-SUN: HAN vs. FAN Wi-SUN supports two primary operational profiles: Home Area Network (HAN) and the Field Area Network (FAN): HAN: Home Area Network HAN currently has several types, including Router B and enhanced HAN (supporting relay transmission). Router B refers to the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) controller, connecting smart appliances and smart meters. It enables real-time monitoring of smart appliance energy consumption and communication with FAN for smart city applications, enhancing the smart home environment. FAN: Field Area Network Wi-SUN FAN is a mesh network where each device can establish multiple connections with nearby devices, scaling up to thousands of nodes. Each node provides typical long-distance hops. If an end-device fails to connect with another, it will automatically re-configure to an alternate path for other end-devices to the router node. This makes it ideal for large-scale infrastructure such as smart grids and streetlights. The Wi-SUN topology is illustrated below: Figure 2 Wi-SUN network topology Benefits of Wi-SUN Network Low Latency and High Data Throughput: Wi-SUN’s mesh topology, ensures a low-latency communication experience and supports high data throughput, catering to the demands of large-scale IoT deployments. Low Power Consumption: Wi-SUN devices typical...
