Bluetooth Mesh Development Kit

The Bluetooth 5.0 development kit product supports all Bluetooth 5 features and functions, achieving 4 times the transmission distance, 2 times the speed, and 8 times the broadcast performance compared to Bluetooth 4, and enhancing the coexistence ability with other wireless IoT protocols

The SoC of the Bluetooth 5.0 development kit also features a 2Mbps PHY, supporting higher throughput and lower power consumption due to shorter transmit (TX) and receive (RX) times. The SoC also integrates new 125Kbps and 500Kbps encoding PHY, enabling longer communication distances, and its Bluetooth connection distance is four times longer than existing devices running Bluetooth 4.

In addition, the SoC of the Bluetooth 5.0 development kit provides sufficient flash memory (512KB) and RAM (64KB) to support running Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth 5 applications in a single protocol mode, as well as multiple protocol combinations of Bluetooth with Zigbee, Thread, or proprietary protocol stacks (running on sub GHz or 2.4GHz networks). The ideal choice for Bluetooth mesh network applications, as this series of SoCs is designed to run both Bluetooth mesh network and Bluetooth 5 protocol stack simultaneously, and support smartphone and Bluetooth mesh network connections.

Bluetooth 5.0 Development KitofThe new SoC includes on-chip oscillators, which eliminate the need for off chip 32kHz crystals typically required for low-power Bluetooth devices. The integrated high-precision low-frequency resistance capacitance (RC) oscillator (PLFRCO) enables developers to save approximately $0.15 in BOM costs in large-scale product designs that require 32kHz crystals to meet low-power Bluetooth sleep clock accuracy specifications. PLFRCO is different from other Bluetooth devices that provide similar integrated oscillators, as it ensures robust and reliable low-power Bluetooth connectivity throughout the entire operating temperature range of the device.

Bluetooth 5.0 Development KitofThe excellent energy efficiency of SoC can achieve longer battery life and lower standby current for devices compatible with Energy Star. The sleep current is 6% lower than other SoCs and 44% lower than the first generation Wireless Gecko devices. To the delight of users, the series products are pin compatible with all QFN48 packaged Wireless Gecko SoCs, which helps existing customers further expand their flexible memory, peripherals, and feature options. The full-featured Simplicity Studio development tool supports all Wireless Gecko series products, and developers can obtain it for free.

Bluetooth 5.0 Development KitofThe latest Bluetooth mesh network solution benefits from mature mesh network expertise, including development tools, software protocol stacks, and mobile applications that support wireless System on Chip (SoC) devices and certified modules. Compared with existing wireless development tools and technologies, the combination of network analysis tools and smartphone Bluetooth mesh network protocol stack enables IoT developers to significantly shorten product development time.

Bluetooth 5.0 Development KitofThe latest Bluetooth mesh network solution includes a complete set of development tools and wireless devices, from conceptual design to final implementation, which can quickly and easily complete IoT product design, bringing many obvious benefits.

The Bluetooth 5.0 development kit brings the following benefits to designers:
