Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), announced that it is collaborating with Wirepas to deliver IOT networks, leveraging its Bluetooth BlueMod+S42 platform. This platform is the first to embed the Wirepas Connectivity technology, a decentralized radio communications protocol that eliminates the need for traditional repeaters.  This enables wireless devices to act as smart routers in the network.

Telit also announced the commercial availability of its BlueMod+S42 Bluetooth 4.2 module, and two variants of the SL869 single and multi-standard positioning module family, the SL869-V3 and the SL869-ADR.

The BlueMod+S42 complies with the Bluetooth SIG v4.2 standard, which features upgrades that help make Bluetooth low energy (BLE) applications faster and more secure. This Bluetooth low energy module is suited for industrial applications, such as electronic locking systems, lighting control, measuring, iBeacons; and for medical devices, such as insulin pumps, hearing aids and wireless foot control.

The SL869-V3 and SL869-ADR are multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver modules, each capable of tracking and using up to three constellations simultaneously to produce positioning, velocity and time information. The use of multiple constellations provides advantages over previous GPS-only receiver modules, including improved accuracy and a handling of weak or blocked satellite signals. The SL869-V3 is intended for applications requiring autonomous navigation, while the SL869-ADR includes embedded support for automotive dead-reckoning (DR), using vehicle odometer and direction (forward or reverse) input signals. Automotive DR fills in calculated position and velocity information during gaps of satellite-based navigational, which occur inside tunnels, large parking structures, or in city streets flanked by tall buildings. Automotive DR also enhances position accuracy when satellite-based fixes are available but are impacted by poor satellite signal receiving conditions.

Telit is also introducing new developer kits to enable prototyping of solutions based on the new and upcoming modules. All three products leverage Telit's experience in radio-frequency (RF) design and performance in industrial-grade environmental conditions.
