Bluetooth Low Energy Tags for Crowdsourced Location Tracking

Crowdsourced location (CSL) tracking is rapidly gaining popularity with systems like Google Find My Device and Apple Find My™ network, which help track lost or stolen personal items. With best-in-class power consumption, dual CPU cores, a low-cost BOM, a 103dB link budget, and support for both Apple's and Google's systems, Renesas' Bluetooth^® Low Energy (LE) System-on-Chip (SoC) is ideally positioned as a stand-alone tag or an integrated system with additional functionality for item tracking. Paired with the HVPAK, which can drive miniaturized buzzers with configurable sound patterns for significant volume, these tags can emit sounds to facilitate easier location.

System Benefits:

• Best-in-class power consumption for extended battery life and operational time.
• Versatile support for both Google Find My Device and Apple Find My network, ensuring wide compatibility.
• Low-cost BOM enables scalable and affordable asset tracking design.
