Nordic is utilizing Skyworks’ family of fully-integrated, front-end solutions in conjunction with their multi-protocol system-on-chip for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and emerging Bluetooth 5 applications. Together, the combined platform provides superior efficiency ─ making it ideal for battery-powered internet of things (IoT) devices ─ while delivering a four-fold range advantage for connected home and outdoor uses.
Bluetooth LE is a critical protocol for IoT, given its upgraded communication capabilities and minimal power consumption requirements. Bluetooth 5 further enhances benefits and supports additional breakthrough features such as extended ranges, higher data throughputs and improved co-existence, all key elements in an increasingly dense network.
According to a recent report from ABI Research, Bluetooth LE devices are forecasted to reach over 1.6 billion annual shipments by 2023, representing a 27% compound annual growth rate between 2018 and 2023.
