u-blox announces smallest industrial Bluetooth 5 module

02.04. 2018 | News

u‑blox has announced the new ANNA‑B1 Bluetooth 5 module for industrial applications. Its ultra‑compact module design and industrial operating temperature range make it ideal for wide‑ranging applications in size‑constrained designs requiring high speed Bluetooth connectivity. ANNA‑B1 comes certified for select markets off the shelf.

Essentially, the new ANNA‑B1 is a miniaturized variant of the meanwhile well‑established u‑blox NINA‑B1 Bluetooth low energy module, packed as a System‑in‑Package (SiP) design into a tiny 6.5 by 6.5 millimeter footprint, just 1.2 millimeters thin.

ANNA‑B1 includes an Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller unit with a floating point unit, flash and RAM. The open CPU option provides full access to the module’s microcontroller so that custom applications can be embedded into the module. Alternatively, product developers can speed up time to market by leveraging the full force of pre‑flashed u‑blox connectivity software.

Engineering samples of the ANNA‑B1 will be available in Q2 2018.
