Two radio protocols combined into one module

Würth Elektronik introduces Skoll-I, a compact wireless module that combines Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE version 5.4 in a single solution. Measuring just 16.6mm × 12mm × 1.7mm, the module is already certified for conformity in all major target markets, speeding up the release of new applications.

The company's new module with integrated antenna is suited for use in medical devices, industrial automation and control systems, security technology and IoT clients such as cost-efficient predictive maintenance. These applications typically need energy-efficient operation.

Small and versatile

Combining Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE in a compact module provides a unique opportunity for developing devices that need to connect to legacy and modern devices. The device 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.

Compelling all-in-one package

The WE Bluetooth LE Terminal App supplies a quick and easy way of testing as well as the basis for developing new, custom apps. Further services include the Wireless Connectivity SDK, the WE UART terminal, and an evaluation board that can be easily connected to a PC to supply access to all module pins for testing.
