The connectBlue product portfolio covers a wide range of needs and is based in the 2.4GHz radio spectrum. Protocols within this freqency band supported by connectBlue today include Bluetooth (2.0 and 2.1+EDR), Wireless LAN (802.11b AND 802.11g) and 802.15.4 (the carrier for ZigBee(tm) and other related protocols).

All connectBlue products share similar features:

• Best-in-class throughput and latency
• Large Supply Voltage Range
• Integrated or external antenna
• Extended temp range –30 to +85 C
• Lowest consumption in the industry
• Medical Certification and Type approval (BT modules)
• Common Formfactor (Modules easily interchanged for different requirements)
• Multiple Connection Options (Modules can be fitted into YOUR design)
• Common Connectors Between Protocol Devices (Interchange Bluetooth, WiFi or ZigBee modules without hardware changes)
• RoHS Compliant (Lead Free)
