U-blox Incorporates Newest Nordic Semiconductor Bluetooth Chips in Two New Compact Modules
THALWIL, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / April 4, 2024 / u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, has announced two additions to its Bluetooth LE portfolio, ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2. The modules are based on the latest generation nRF54 Series Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) from Nordic Semiconductor. They both support Bluetooth LE 5.4 and Thread/Matter technologies in a compact, power-efficient, and secure format.
瑞士塔爾維爾/ACCESSWIRE/2024 年 4 月 4 日/領先的定位和無線通信技術與服務的全球提供商 u-blox（SIX: UBXN）宣佈在其低功耗藍牙產品組合中增加兩項，即 ALMA-B1 和 NORA-B2。這些模塊基於北歐半導體最新一代的nRF54系列片上系統（SoC）。它們都以緊湊、節能和安全的格式支持藍牙 LE 5.4 和 Thread/Matter 技術。
ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2 are designed for a wide range of IoT applications, including industrial automation, healthcare, and smart home. ALMA-B1 is a high-end wireless MCU, while NORA-B2 brings ultra-low power to less complex applications.
ALMA-B1 和 NORA-B2 專爲各種物聯網應用而設計，包括工業自動化、醫療保健和智能家居。ALMA-B1 是一款高端無線 MCU，而 NORA-B2 則爲不太複雜的應用帶來超低功耗。
Powered by the nRF54H20 and the nRF54L15 Nordic low-power multiprotocol SoCs, ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2 provide IoT devices with the processing power for edge computing and machine learning without additional components. With more than twice the processing power of previous Bluetooth LE modules, ALMA-B1 can even replace general-purpose MCUs in a compact solution.
ALMA-B1 和 NORA-B2 由 nRF54H20 和 nRF54L15 Nordic 低功耗多協議 SoC 提供支持，無需額外組件即可爲物聯網設備提供邊緣計算和機器學習的處理能力。ALMA-B1 的處理能力是先前藍牙 LE 模塊的兩倍多，甚至可以在緊湊的解決方案中取代通用 MCU。
Both modules also offer a significant reduction in power consumption. NORA-B2 consumes up to 50% less current compared to previous generations of Bluetooth LE modules. This translates into smaller batteries or longer battery life in end products.
這兩個模塊還顯著降低了功耗。與前幾代低功耗藍牙模塊相比，NORA-B2 消耗的電流最多可減少 50%。這意味着電池更小或終端產品的電池壽命更長。
Designed for PSA Certified Level 3, ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2 provide the highest levels of IoT security. Both modules include next-generation security features like physical tamper detection and protection against side-channel attacks.
ALMA-B1 和 NORA-B2 專爲 PSA 認證 3 級而設計，可提供最高級別的物聯網安全性。這兩個模塊都包含下一代安全功能，例如物理篡改檢測和側信道攻擊防護。
The sizes of the modules (10 x 11 mm or 10 x 14 mm) save considerable space and facilitate migration from other u-blox's modules. Both modules come with global certifications.
模塊的尺寸（10 x 11 mm 或 10 x 14 mm）節省了大量空間，便於從其他 u-blox 模塊遷移。這兩個模塊均獲得全球認證。
"We are thrilled to see Nordic's latest generation of chipsets, the nRF54 Series, being integrated into these u-blox's modules. Their full potential will undoubtedly open up a wealth of revolutionary IoT end products that were previously unfeasible. ALMA-B1's superior power efficiency in radio and MCU processing and NORA-B2's ultra-low power for the mass market are clear market differentiators," says Thomas Holmberg, Regional Sales Director at Nordic Semiconductor.
“我們很高興看到Nordic的最新一代芯片組nRF54系列被集成到這些u-blox的模塊中。毫無疑問，它們的全部潛力將開闢大量以前不可行的革命性物聯網終端產品。ALMA-B1 在無線電和單片機處理方面的卓越功率效率以及 NORA-B2 在大衆市場上的超低功耗是明顯的市場差異化因素。” 北歐半導體區域銷售總監托馬斯·霍爾姆伯格說。
ALMA-B1 and NORA-B2 are available as wireless MCUs. Both modules offer two antenna options: an antenna pin or an embedded PCB antenna.
ALMA-B1 和 NORA-B2 可作爲無線 MCU 使用。這兩個模塊都提供兩種天線選項：天線引腳或嵌入式 PCB 天線。
