Ezurio (formerly Laird Technologies) has introduced a next-generation wireless module designed to meet the demands of modern IoT applications. Powered by the advanced Silicon Labs SiWx917 chipset, the Veda SL917 combines Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth® LE 5.4 technologies, offering unparalleled performance, flexibility, and power efficiency in a compact form. With options for use as either a System on Chip (SoC) or Network Connected Processor (NCP) module, the Veda SL917 is purpose-built for IoT devices that require ultra-low power, seamless connectivity, and secure communication.
The Veda SL917 is specifically designed to power battery-operated industrial IoT devices requiring long operational lifespans. It delivers next-generation connectivity with robust security and versatility. Key highlights include:
- Seamless Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.4 for cutting-edge wireless communication.
- Ultra-Low Power Design: Optimized for battery-powered devices, ensuring extended operation.
- Comprehensive Security: Incorporates WPA2/3, secure boot, anti-rollback, secure key storage, and programmable hardware write protection.
- Powerful Computing Capabilities: Features an ARM Cortex M4 processor running at 180 MHz, an AI/ML accelerator, and a sensor hub for advanced application needs.
- Compact and Flexible Form Factor: Housed in a small 16 x 21.1 x 2.3 mm SMT module, perfect for compact designs.
- Interfaces: Includes SDIO, UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, and more.
Versatile Module Configurations
The Veda SL917 is available in two configurations to cater to diverse IoT requirements:
Veda SL917 SoC: Offers an embedded application processor capable of running standalone applications, removing the need for an external host processor. Provides support for both internal and external memory, offering design flexibility for cost and performance optimization.
Veda SL917 NCP: Functions as a network co-processor, offloading connectivity tasks from the host processor. Enables secure and efficient Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and IP connectivity via the WiSeConnect SDK, compatible with leading MCU platforms like STM32, NXP, and Silicon Labs.
Development Kits for Easy Integration
To simplify evaluation and integration, Ezurio offers dedicated development kits for both configurations:
Veda SL917 Explorer Board: Designed for SoC evaluation, enabling developers to explore its application capabilities.
Veda SL917 Click Board: Tailored for NCP evaluation, facilitating seamless testing and integration into IoT projects.
These kits provide developers with the tools they need to streamline testing and expedite product development.
Comprehensive Support for IoT Developers
Ezurio complements the Veda SL917 with industry-leading services, including:
- Antenna Design and Optimization: Custom antenna design, placement, and testing.
- Firmware and Hardware Support: Embedded RF design, cloud integration, and mobile application development.
- Regulatory Compliance: The module is certified by FCC, IC, CE, and other international regulatory bodies, ensuring compliance for global deployment.
