Wirepas and u-blox have partnered to offer an advanced decentralised radio communications solution (comparable with advanced mesh technology) for demanding (IIoT) Industrial IoT applications. The IoT industry is still quite young and fragmented, making deployment of IIoT applications slow and complex for the end customers. The goal of u-blox and Wirepas is to make large scale, decentralised IIoT networks easy to deploy for their customers.

NINA-B1 is a small, stand-alone BLE module, with the latest state-of-the-art power performance. It is targeting several different applications, such as healthcare, connected buildings, manufacturing and telematics. The module has been certified for a range of countries world-wide, thus reducing risk and time-to-market for customers integrating the module in their devices.

Hakan Svegerud, Head of Product Strategy, Short Range Radio, u‑blox, commented: “The NINA-B1 in combination with the Wirepas Connectivity software enables short time to market for easy-to-install, large scale, decentralised industrial IoT applications in segments such as lighting, sensor, asset tracking and beacons."

“We believe that technology should never be the starting point; instead, we should concentrate on business and application needs. As needs evolve over time, so should the technology. Wirepas and u-blox share this core value and that is what makes us stronger together,” added Teppo Hemiä, CEO, Wirepas

Wirepas will arrange a Webinar on 6th September at 3pm CET. In this 45-minute webinar, Ville Kaseva, Chief Technology Officer, Wirepass, will go through the features, benefits, and the technology behind this unique connectivity product. Register for the webinar.
