Laird Connectivity Sentrius IG60-BL654 Starter Kit with Three Bluetooth 5 Sensors
The Laird Connectivity Sentrius IG60-BL654
and BT510 Starter Kit, available from Mouser
Electronics, includes the Sentrius IG60-BL654
gateway with Amazon Web Services (AWS), plus
three BT510 Bluetooth 5 sensors.
Engineers can gather data from the BT510 sensors and collect the data with the IG60-BL654
gateway before sending it to the cloud via AWS
IoT Greengrass, while available iOS and Android
mobile apps enable fast, in-field provisioning.
Based on Laird Connectivity’s 60 Series systemon-module (SoM) and BL654 embedded Bluetooth
module with Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840
system-on-chip (SoC), the IG60-BL654 provides a powerful platform for Bluetooth 5
long-range sensor-to-cloud applications.
The combination of Bluetooth and WiFi allows customers to capture data from
Bluetooth 5 sensors, add edge intelligence,
and send that data to the cloud over highperformance 802.11ac

Wearable
Electronics
and the
Healthcare
Market
While traditional electronic systems have an inherently
rigid form factor, developments in manufacturing processes and materials are enabling a new world of flexible electronics. Just last year several foldable smartphones were
revealed to the market.
In a new research report titled “Flexible Electronics in
Healthcare 2020–2030”, IDTechEx analysts find significant opportunities for flexible electronics to be applied to
healthcare. In this report, IDTechEx forecasts the market
for healthcare products containing flexible electronics to
be worth over $8.3 billion by the year 2030.
One way to address patient adherence to monitoring is
to make the device unobtrusive to the point of invisibility. Electronic skin patches, wearable devices that are electronic components adhered to the skin, are one such way
to address this.

Control Devices is the
official APEM distributor for
Australia and New Zealand.
APEM PBA Piezo switches are
based on a solid-state output,
allowing for a very long life expectancy – ideal for demanding
applications where reliability is
important. The flat actuation surface is completely closed, preventing the intrusion of liquids or other
contaminants. This makes them ideal for surface cleaning,
required in the medical and food-processing industries.
High performance sealing (IP68 and IP69K) is achieved
due to the one-piece construction of the switch. No external
power supply is required. The screw-machined metal housing construction and APEM’s vertical integration allow for the
manufacture of a variety of shapes.
