NanoBeacon™ SoC Family
Built for the Era of Smart Labels
The IN120 is InPlay's second-generation NanoBeacon™ SoC, engineered specifically for the fast-growing market of ultra-low-cost, ultra-low-power BLE smart labels and wireless sensors.
With an integrated high-accuracy temperature sensor, broadcast data logging capability, and a TX-only BLE architecture, IN120 enables simple, scalable deployments without the complexity or cost of traditional wireless sensor solutions.
Whether you are shipping cold-chain goods, tracking pharmaceutical assets, or deploying industrial IoT sensors at scale — IN120 delivers everything you need in a minimal, configurable package.
Key Features
Everything you need for a complete BLE smart label solution — integrated into a single, ultra-low-power SoC.
Ultra-Low Power BLE 6.2
TX-only BLE architecture achieves sub-microwatt average power consumption — compatible with coin cells, thin-film batteries, and energy-harvesting sources for maximum deployment flexibility.
Integrated Temperature Sensor
Built-in high-accuracy temperature sensor with ±1°C accuracy. No external sensor component required, reducing BOM cost and board space.
Broadcast Data Logging
Supports historical sensor data transmission via BLE advertising. Log temperature readings over time and broadcast them to nearby receivers without a persistent connection.
Near-Zero eBOM
Single 32 MHz crystal design and compact package options dramatically reduce external component count — optimized for high-volume, cost-sensitive label applications.
No-Code Configuration
Fully configurable via the NanoBeacon™ Config Tool desktop app. No firmware, no IDE, no programming experience required — just configure and flash.
Smart Label Ready
Small package options and optimized power profile make IN120 the ideal choice for disposable BLE smart labels at high production volumes.
