WICED™ Sense, the tag development kit from
Broadcom®, includes the BCM20737S Bluetooth
Smart SIP module and six microelectromechani-
cal systems (MEMS) sensors. From individual
developers to startups and to established OEMs,
Broadcom's WICED Sense tag delivers complex
technology in an easy-to-use and easy-to-under-
stand development kit. Using this kit, it takes only
a few minutes to set up a Bluetooth Smart con-
nection between the tag and a user's smartphone
or tablet, reducing design time and accelerating
time to market for an ever-expanding internet-of-
things (IoT) ecosystem.
The data available from the kit includes direction,
temperature, humidity, and more. The
BCM20737S Bluetooth Smart SoC inside the tag
ensures privacy with advanced security and
encryption features, and also includes software to
support iBeacon technology.
•BCM20737S Bluetooth Smart SIP module.
•MEMS sensors inside the WICED Sense
include:
–G-sensor (speed/accelerometer)
–Gyroscope (direction)
–E-compass (direction)
–Barometer (atmospheric pressure)
–Humidity and temperature
•Bluetooth Smart connection covers distance of
roughly 100 feet.
•Support for eight master/slave Bluetooth Smart
devices.
•Downloadable WICED Sense application from
the Apple App Store for iOS devices or from
Google Play for Android devices.
•Developers can easily build custom applica-
tions once set up. For example, one can place
the Broadcom WICED Sense tag in a room and
set an alarm to alert if the temperature reaches
above or drops below a certain degree.
•Software to support iBeacon technology.
•Support for wireless charging.
•Support for NFC simplified pairing.
•Over-the-air secure download to enable tag
firmware updates from central device including
smartphone, tablet, or PC.
•Preprogramming on tag enables application
developers to design new applications without
the need for advanced technical background.
•No need of embedded-software design knowl-
edge.
•No need of an embedded compiler.
•Built-in support for iOS and Android OS.
•Single coin-cell battery to reduce power drain.
•Integrated software development kit (SDK) sup-
port using the WICED Smart SDK v2.1 and
above.
•Enables new use cases for wearables and IoT
devices.
•Enables application developers to innovate
using WICED Smart kit and further advance IoT
ecosystem.
•Better security across devices, both inside
devices and during data transfer, creates more
privacy for consumer.

•WICED Sense development kit
reduces setup process from
hours to minutes, allowing devel-
opers and OEMs to spend less
time troubleshooting and more
time designing.
•Low-power MEMS sensors inside
the tags determine direction,
humidity, speed, and atmospheric
pressure, while Bluetooth Smart
connection enables this data to
be gathered and analyzed
through mobile device applica-
tions.
•Broadcom extends the horizon of
internet-of-things ecosystem for
innovators with both technical
and non-technical backgrounds.
