In a typical architecture of Bluetooth Low Energy PEPS in a car, there is one central smart key module and nine satellite modules. The nine satellite modules shown here are only an example; a real implementation could have more or fewer satellite modules. These modules communicate using a communication bus.
So what is inside the satellite node? A typical block diagram of a Bluetooth Low Energy satellite module has a Bluetooth Low Energy system-on-chip (SoC) such as TI’s SimpleLink CC2640R2F-Q1, a power supply, and a communication interface (typically a transceiver).
