High-end RF module with dual-core processor uses latest generation of Bluetooth Technology in smallest package on the market

Sophia Antipolis, France, 06 May 2021 - Insight SiP, a vendor of innovative miniature RF modules with embedded antennas, based on "System in Package" technologies, today announced some changes in its management team to support the future growth of the business.  

There has been an explosion in the use of Short Range Wireless Solutions in recent years, driven principally by the arrival and development of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard. Whilst plenty of short range wireless solutions existed previously, their uptake was limited. This was either because they focussed on narrow niches such as Zigbee or ANT or were ill-suited to battery powered or intermittent use such as Bluetooth “classic”. BLE fulfilled the original general “cable replacement” objectives of the original Bluetooth standard. With BLE quickly becoming natively available on phones, laptops and tablets, there was a ready-made market of devices to connect to.

There are two basic approaches to designing a wireless system – build the system from the ground up, with an RF chip, passives, filters, and connect an antenna, or use a wireless module that integrates all of these elements into a complete system.

Brussels, Belgium, 04 February 2021 – Avnet Silica, an Avnet company (NASDAQ: AVT), today announced it has signed a distribution agreement with Insight SiP, a leading developer of ultra-miniature RF modules with embedded antennas, using system-in-package and antenna-in-package technology.

The management of workplace health and safety risks in the Covid-19 era has highlighted the importance of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for workers across industries including healthcare. Designers are now integrating technology, and often wireless solutions into equipment to create smart PPE. However, RF devices worn close to the body pose challenges, which Nick Wood, Sales & Marketing Director at RF circuit miniaturisation, system-in-package & antenna-in-package expert, Insight SiP reviews here…

Sophia Antipolis, France, [01 December 2020] – Insight SiP, a leading developer of ultra-miniature RF modules with embedded antennas, using System-in-Package and Antenna-in-Package technology, today announced it has signed an distribution agreement with Avnet Japan, a leading global technology solutions provider. In Japan, Avnet operates in nine major Japanese cities.

Bluetooth has existed for over 30 years. Zigbee nearly as long.  Other short-range radio technologies such as ANT+ and Thread are more recent. Poor interoperability in real world devices held back early Bluetooth adoption. The original vision of a general cable replacement technology was never realised due to excessive power consumption built into the standard. The need to frequently recharge devices undermined the utility of wireless connections and Bluetooth became an audio streaming technology. Zigbee found a niche in industrial applications and ANT+ in sports.  Evolution was slow until 10 years ago.
