ANT+ Module by Raytac

Posted on by Leave a comment

nRF51422 is the first solution supports both Bluetooth and ANT+, different from pure Bluetooth Low Energy BLE solution, nRF51822 released earlier. The edge cutting technology enable nRF51422 suporting multiprotocol concurrency capable for both Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT+. At the same time Nordic released SDK S310 for nRF51422 which is a combined peripheral BLE and ANT+ protocol stack that supports concurrent operation and all ANT+ features.

When Nordic moved to nRF52, started from nRF52832, the game changed. Even nF52832 still supports ANT+, the technology support such as SDK releasing or developers’ forums, has moved to direct supported by ANT+ Wireless (formerly Dynastream Innovations). Since then, Raytac suggest developers who is interested in ANT+ product still able to select the modules based on core specification and form factor, but access the firmware development support from ANT+ directly. Developers who are interested to know more about ANT+ is encouraged visit ANT+ FAQ support page first for more information about membership, development, resource and certification.

All Nordic nRF52 solutions supports ANT+ feature, developers may refer to below Raytac module map and find what the protocol supports by the symbol stated besides the Nordic solution indication.

Posted on by Leave a comment

Headache about how to make your device going wirelessly? Want to have Bluetooth connectivity implement but worried about there is no resource to support firmware code developing ? Raytac AT command modules is the best ideal solution to enable the project having a breakthrough achievement quickly without writing a line of code or building up a design of RF hardware.

AT command stands for Attention Command, which is the most ordinary, easy and widely applied protocol to connect and bridge between IoT devices. Learning from Bluetooth Classic Serial Port Profile (aka SPP) experience, Raytac has been using UART service (ask NUS, Nordic UART service) since 2016 to assist customers proceed the Bluetooth project development. With full experience accumulated from projects, Raytac released the fist AT command module in 2018. Until now, Raytac AT command modules have been widely applying in different applications and successfully easier the project development and shorten the schedule.

Raytac keep improving to meet your demand now and future. When IoT device goes smaller become a trend of fashion, Raytac headed for it. Today, Raytac is happy to announce there are 2 new AT command modules released which are MDBT42T & MDBT42TV, which will have 2 kinds of antenna option available for each model. The modules are smaller than ever which benefit for the applications with space constraints design, also an optimized hardware module design to enable the module not only small but low cost. Raytac keep striving to make it better.

Your Demand Matters; Raytac Always Prepares One Step Ahead!

An anxious procurement officer is yelling over the phone around the corner and asking for immediate support. “We Need the Modules ASAP!!!   “Sounds familiar?  It’s the daily office scene in 2021 and may likely last to 2022.

Chip shortage has become a global issue over the industries. The situation spread out from MCU/IC, across active and passive components. Not only all components price has been driven to reach historic sky high in spot market now, the worst situation is even you are willing to pay but still got nothing to supply.

Raytac, as a major Nordic solution Bluetooth module vendor all over the world, understood the distress our partners are facing. 

Therefore, we carry out routine evaluation program since 2018. The program is proceeding based on future 6 months (2 quarters) sales forecast and 9 months (3 quarters) components stock level check to predict the potential component demand gap and aimed to develop a fast reaction to recover immediately.

1. make advanced preparation for all components at least 3 quarters ahead in order to minimized the impact bring to customers. 

2. To have quick response for this fast changing and fluctuating market situation, a monthly cross-function review has been held by Sales and Procurement departments in order provide a quick and immediate reaction to adjust the strategy.

With the effort we have done and stock we prepared advanced, Raytac has successfully built up a smooth and stable module supply pipeline to all our partners. The continuously evaluation program we conducted also has significantly reduced the future possible impact or risk that sudden components shortage may bring to customers. Therefore,  Raytac’s glad to tell all our partners that our module lead-time mostly still can be remained and secured as usual. 

Customer who would like to know more about module lead-time are welcome to reach out to us for more information updated.
