SiLabs Says New Location-Services Modules Have 10-Year Battery Life

A new Bluetooth Location Services platform from Silicon Labs uses low-power Bluetooth devices to simplify Angle of Arrival and Angle of Departure location services for inventory tracking, said the company Tuesday. The hardware and software platform uses the company’s BG22 system-in-package modules and SoCs that are rated to run for up to 10 years on a coin battery. Software is designed to track assets, improve indoor navigation and improve tag location with sub-meter accuracy, the company said.
