Summary of WÜRTH ELEKTRONIK THETIS-I WITH EVALUATION KIT
Würth Elektronik released Thetis-I, a ready-to-use radio module for Wirepas mesh networks, enabling self-healing, scalable IoT networks where each device can route traffic. The company offers a Thetis-I Evaluation Kit with an evaluation board, USB radio stick, and three sensor nodes, configurable via Wirepas Commander on PC. The module features ultra-low-energy Wirepas routing, optional standalone or host-controlled operation, security, nano SIM size (8 x 12 x 2 mm), smart antenna, Nordic nRF52840 SoC, 6 dBm TX, 1 MB flash, 256 kB RAM, and multiple certifications.
Parts used in the Thetis-I Project:
- Thetis-I radio module
- Evaluation board
- USB radio stick
- Three sensor nodes
- Wirepas Commander software (PC)
- Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 SoC (on module)
- Smart antenna (2-in-1 module)
Würth Elektronik launches Thetis-I, a ready-to-use radio module for Wirepas mesh networks. Thetis-I is the perfect solution for IoT device manufacturers. Networks with technology from Wirepas, the Finnish software provider, are self-healing and freely scalable. Each device with a Thetis-I radio module can also act as a router which means no further infrastructure is required for mesh communication. Würth Elektronik offers developers the Thetis-I Evaluation Kit. It contains an evaluation board, a USB radio stick, and three sensor nodes. Thanks to the tailored Wirepas Commander software, this kit can be operated and configured directly via a PC.
