Streamline Mesh Networking Product Design

IoT product developers are under constant pressure to reduce time to market. Being first to market with a new connected product can provide first-mover advantages, but developers should not compromise on key aspects to achieve that goal. That’s a big part of why we launched xGM210x Series 2 pre-certified modules. Developers can accelerate time to market by several months when they take advantage of highly integrated modules that come complete with global regulatory certifications and important, brand protecting features such as device security. 

Simplifying IoT Development  

Series 2 Modules enable faster and easier IoT development for smart building, industrial IoT, and smart lighting applications. Designed to optimize the performance of resource-constrained IoT products without requiring functionality tradeoffs, the Series 2 portfolio decreases the time, cost, and risk factors through the availability of a suite of development tools including the Simplicity Studio design environment, software stacks that have a proven track record in large deployments, support personnel, and security capabilities integrated into the modules.   

Securing IoT Wireless Devices 

The enhanced security features, implemented in the Series 2 modules, enable developers to use modern and highly robust security features in their IoT products.

  • A dedicated security core isolates the application processor and delivers fast, energy-efficient cryptographic operations with differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasures. 
  • Secure boot with root of trust and secure loader (RTSL) technology helps prevent malware injection and the execution of authentic signed firmware.
  • An anti-rollback feature ensures patched software delivered locally or via OTA (over-the-air) update cannot be rolled back to older yet signed firmware that may have known security issues.
  • A true random number generator (TRNG) compliant with NIST SP800-90 and AIS-31 strengthens device cryptography. 
  • A secure debug interface with lock/unlock protected via a Diffie-Helman key exchange allows only authenticated access for failure analysis without the need to wipe memory.

Taking Advantage of the xGM210P 

xGM210P is a broad-based module optimized for line powered IoT applications in smart home, building automation, and industrial IoT.  With a long RF range, dedicated security core, and large flash memory, the broad-based module is perfect for smart HVAC, building, and factory automation systems.

When integrating the xGM210P, the high temperature rating of up to 125°C allows the module to function in demanding environmental conditions such as solar baking in utility meter applications. The module’s low profile also makes it perfect for space-constrained IoT designs particularly in smart home applications including smart light bulbs, fixtures, LED strips, dimmers, fire alarms, and power sockets. 

Optimizing Smart Lighting with xGM210L 

The xGM210L is designed and built for smart LED bulbs and allows developers to add wireless connectivity to LED light bulbs in an easier fashion. One key optimization is the inclusion of a 6-pin header, which enables horizontal and vertical mounting, an interface for power, and pulse width modulation (PWM) for LED temperature and dimming control. The 125°C high temperature rating ensures correct operation despite the harsh operating conditions and compliance with California Title 20 ensures low power reduces wasted power. Developers can design dimmable, color tunable smart LED lightbulbs that support Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Zigbee or multiprotocol connectivity.  Extensive global regulatory certifications make developing with the xGM210L cost-efficient through saving development cycles. By enabling smart lighting with robust, scalable mesh networking, consumers can control lights through a smartphone and adjust lighting settings while away from their home.
