· Connect the development kit to the smartphone app in minutes and start running the app
Beijing, September 1, 2014 - Broadcom , the global leader in innovative solutions for wired and wireless communications semiconductors (NASDAQ: BRCM), today announced the launch of its line of embedded device Internet wireless connectivity (WICEDTM) products A new development kit that helps developers quickly prototype ideas and concepts for IoT devices and applications. The Broadcom® WICED Sense Development Kit is a multi-function IoT prototyping suite with Broadcom's latest Bluetooth smart chip, five microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors and a software stack compatible with Bluetooth 4.1.
Broadcom's WICED Sense suite provides a cost-effective platform for innovative companies of all sizes – not only to reduce setup time, but also to enable hardware and software developers to produce demos of the IoT concept faster. By shortening the time from the initial concept to the final product, companies are able to bring devices to market faster and have more confidence in product success.
Brian Bedrosian, senior director of embedded wireless services at Broadcom's Wireless Connectivity Division, said: "There are hundreds of IoT applications and devices emerging every day, so developers can quickly test concepts and push them before competitors. To the market, the key to their success. Broadcom's WICED Sense development kit provides developers, OEMs and start-ups with an easy-to-use, low-cost and complete test suite that enables wireless innovation to be used wirelessly. Creativity and push to the extreme."
Broadcom's new development kits even allow non-technical designers to build custom applications using Broadcom's industry-leading Bluetooth technology and low-power MEMS sensors. Users simply turn on the WICED Sense kit, download the WICED Sense app on their smartphone, connect the two devices using Bluetooth Smart technology, and start experimenting with applications using sensors such as direction, humidity, speed and air pressure.
The use case for this development kit ranges from a single sensor to a complex program that collects and analyzes multiple sensor data. Specific cases include:
Install a WICED Sense kit in a specific area of ​​your home, such as a children's bedroom, and send a text message alert when the temperature in the area rises above a certain temperature
Install the WICED Sense kit on the car key and use the smartphone to trigger an alert on the tag to quickly find the car key
Install a WICED Sense kit on a pet collar to create a pet safety device that is set to alert the smartphone when the pet is out of range
WICED Sense kit installed on a tennis racket, using an accelerometer and an electronic compass sensor to correct athlete movements
Use the WICED Sense kit to monitor humidity and alert you when humidity is too high or too low to maintain proper humidity levels in the room
