ANGi by Specialized employs Nordic’s nRF52832 SoC to wirelessly send alerts of potentially serious accidents to rider’s emergency contacts via smartphone app

Nordic Semiconductor today announces that Specialized, a Morgan Hill, CA-based cycling equipment company, has selected Nordic’s nRF52832 Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) System-on-Chip (SoC) for its ‘ANGi’ (Angular and G-Force indicator) sensor-based device. When attached to a Specialized bicycle helmet ANGi turns it into a live GPS tracking device, crash detector, and safety beacon.

Once activated by the cyclist at the start of a ride through the iOS- and Android-compatible Specialized Ride Premium app on the user’s paired Bluetooth 4.0 (or later) smartphone, ANGi uses its built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to detect any potentially dangerous incident by the measurement of linear and rotational forces to the cyclist’s head that typically occur during a bicycle crash.

"We also found Nordic’s SoftDevice to be more mature than competitive Bluetooth LE solutions, while the readily accessible Nordic technical documentation proved highly advantageous
