The on-board Silicon Labs MGM111
multi-protocol RF module supports BLE
4.1/4.2, ZigBee and Thread. Modules enable
the fastest time to market and are suited for
use in products that will be built in lower vol-
umes. The fully certified MGM111 module
integrates all components (crystals, RF pas-
sives and antenna) required for a system-level
implementation. At +10 dBm this module
meets the worldwide regulatory requirements
for IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz radio used in
both ZigBee and Thread networks. By incor-
porating the Thread stack, ARIS EDGE can
be used for developing connected domestic
IoT devices, benefiting from properties of
Thread that help ensure reliable and secure
communication, with high energy effi-
ciency and easy interoperability. As a ver-
satile platform for developing edge devices,
the board also integrates a rich set of sen-
sors including the state-of-the-art BNO055
Application Specific Sensor Node (ASSN)
from Bosch Sensortec. This is a 9-axis abso-
lute orientation sensor containing a MEMS
accelerometer, gyroscope and geomagnetic
sensor, with sensor fusion running on a
32-bit microcontroller, in a space-efficient
5.2mm x 3.8mm x 1.1mm SiP device.
