Art Of Speed, Low-Energy & Efficient Modules From Amp'ed RF

Wi-Fi dual-band + BLE 4.1 module offers solutions for IoT audio/video, healthcare, industrial and consumer electronics.

San Jose, CA /PRNewswire/ -- Amp'ed RF Wireless Technology, an international provider of advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth SoC, announces the availability of Amp'ed RF ART6212. This Wi-Fi dual band and Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) solution offers superior data throughput, range and power consumption to help enable Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The ART6212 BLE module is configured with a Bluetooth SIG pre-certified BLE stack that speeds up the certification process.

"ART6212 not only offers faster speeds than competitors but also faster certification," said Kelly Simone, president and chief technology officer of Amp'ed RF Wireless Technology.

Amp'ed RF engineered ART6212 with dual-band technology so that the Wi-Fi signal can occupy the 5 GHz band while BLE can occupy the 2.5 GHz band; addressing questions around co-existence.

Key Benefits ART6212

1. Pre-certified BLE stack.
2. Dual-Band Wi-Fi/BLE on 5GHz & 2.4GHz.
3. Auto-launch BLE to Wi-Fi code provided.
4. Amp'ed RF provides stacks or developers can use open source software.

"Dual band BLE/Wi-Fi is like having two kids—one 5-year-old and one 2.4-year-old, they can't argue with each other because they are on different floors of the same house," said Naz Usmani, vice president of sales at Amp'ed RF.

Support for wireless devices and ART6212, speeds up both development and authentication. Amp'ed RF provides the code for BLE to auto-launch Wi-Fi for consumers.

Availability and Pricing
Development samples of the ART6212 are currently available. The cost per unit is approximately less than$10.00 each depending upon volume
