WyzBee benefits IoT M2M device makers

RS10003 block diagram

The core of WyzBee is the RS10003 of Redpine. The wireless chip, the MCUs, the memory, the interfaces and the peripherals are inside a module. The dimensions of RS10003 are 21 mm x 15 mm x 3 mm only. Application development is supported with a choice of development environments, including IAR, Keil, and free of charge CoIDE. A debug tool, called WyzBee Workbench, is also integrated into the development environment and provides a debug analysis of data traffic between the device and the cloud.
