Intelligent Tire Solutions TPM Sensor equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology
Tire Management Solutions / TPMS



Sensata's valve-mounted tire pressure monitoring (TPM) sensor is being developed with Bluetooth® wireless technology to address the market's shift towards smarter, connected tires. Bluetooth® wireless technology can communicate bi-directionally, which will both align with OEMs' emerging wireless receiver strategies and enable new features.


Features

Robust, proven design leverages experience from delivering over 500M TPMS sensors in the field
Available in both Clamp-In and Snap-In Configurations, addressing a variety of vehicle speeds
Delivers same pressure, temperature, and auto-location capabilities as UHF parts delivered to market today
Capable of bi-directional wireless communication
Compatible with Bluetooth® v5.1-v5.3
Programmable with Tire Details or new Advanced Features
Optimized for long battery life


Benefits

Allows for Over the Air Updates (OTA) to address issues in the field or to install additional features without your customers having to go to the shop
Facilitates robust cybersecurity implementations to help minimize threats to you and your customers
Enables new features such as Enhanced Tire Fill Assist, allowing you to use your mobile device to display real-time pressure when inflating tires
Can leverage existing low energy wireless receiver infrastructure being introduced to support cell phones as smart keys, removing UHF receivers and reducing total system cost
