Like so many industries within the Internet of Things (IoT), Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) connectivity has completely altered the landscape of asset management. Bluetooth LE now represents a 50% share of the trackable asset tags in the market today. RFID-based tags and labels are still in use but have limited capabilities in their ability to provide active data about events surrounding the asset. RFID is not considered to be a tracking system but more of an identification technology requiring a scanner and human intervention. This is why most RFID tag manufacturers are now considering Bluetooth LE for the development of new tags. With Bluetooth LE running on the embedded MCU,  a number of value-added services are now possible, like environmental data log transmission, cold-chain management and accurate, real-time localization.

If you are considering or are currently developing on the RSL10 Bluetooth® Low Energy radio, power consumption and battery life are likely some of the first things that crossed your mind when defining your design priorities. With the current trends in the wireless industry mandating a rich feature set while maintaining a strict energy budget that small form factors demand, the RSL10 fits this role perfectly and is easily capable of achieving 10-year battery life off a single battery and even from sustainable energy sources. As a Bluetooth® Low Energy radio with an industry-leading ultra-low-power operating mode, it is no surprise that the RSL10 excels under these constraints.

Continue reading in today's blog about our RSL10 Power Consumption and Battery Estimator, an easy-to-use, accurate tool that allows you to calculate and verify the exact power measurements for your IoT device and specific use-cases. 

地球日(Earth Day)每年在4月22日庆祝，以支持和提高对各种环保活动的认识。它成立于1970年，当时许多人认为一家负责任的公司即意味着放弃利润。这是Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)开始出现。在现实中，CSR的倡议也像公司的任何其他部分一样依赖于盈利能力。我们的公司越成功，我们 "做好事 "的能力就越强；我们也有更多的机会来扩大覆盖面，促进我们的承诺和行动。
