Tools & Software
Multi-mode intelligent connectivity solution integrating IEEE 802.15.4 and Bluetooth.
Multi-mode intelligent connectivity solution integrating IEEE 802.15.4 and Bluetooth.
The QCA4024 SoC is a multi-mode system-on-chip with support for Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4-based technologies, including Zigbee and Thread.
This low power SOC integrates a Cortex M4F for application processing and a Cortex M0 for network stack processing designed to enable a highly concurrent multiple radio solution.
The QCA4020 SDK from Qualcomm Technologies pre-integrates support for advanced security features and mesh networking. This solution complements portions of the portfolio beyond IoT devices to address multiple industries.
Qualcomm Bluetooth Low Energy, Qualcomm Trusted Execution Environment, CSRmesh and QCA4024 are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.and/or its subsidiaries.
Multi-core processing
Dedicated Arm Cortex-M4F CPU for customer applications and low power Arm Cortex-M0 CPU for BLE.
Hardware-based security features
QCA4024 includes hardware-based security features and functions integrated in a single IC, and is designed to provide OEMs with the option of replacing external security chips for potential cost savings.
Greater efficiencies with Mesh Networking
Qualcomm® Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh technology uses a Bluetooth Mesh network to permit management and calibration of multiple beacons, as well as tracking and report assets.
