ST Micro launches wireless module for Industrial IoT Swiss-based STMicroelectronics, Europe’s largest semiconductor maker, has launched a wireless module for Industrial IoT applications such as intelligent equipment monitoring and proactive maintenance. The module comprises a complete subsystem for wireless communication supporting the key standards such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee and Thread, along with scope for incorporating proprietary protocols. ST says it has customers already building the new STM32WB5MMGH6 module into upcoming emerging new products, citing I-care Group, a provider of continuous monitoring systems for industrial equipment designed to optimize performance and avoid unexpected downtime. “Choosing a wireless module instead of engineering a chip-down solution is the fastest way for developers to complete their projects,” said Hakim Jaafar, general…
