The BL652 is a fully-integrated, stand-alone BLE and NFC solution ideal for a number of applications including Enterprise IoT devices in industrial or commercial settings, medical peripherals, as well as sensors and beacons. The module operates from 2.402 to 2.480 GHz, transmits a power of up to 4 dBm and has a receive sensitivity of -96 dBm that provides a wireless range of up to 100 meters in free space. It features robust security as well as outstanding power performance, critical for many IoT applications where BLE devices must run battery-powered for an extended amount of time without human intervention. Based on the Nordic nRF52 series, the module’s ultra-small 14 x 10 mm form factor, optimized low power schemes, and smartBASIC programming language provide a robust, stable, stand-alone Bluetooth environment for any embedded design. This solution has everything needed to simplify both RF design and certification efforts. The module boasts an industrial temperature rating and choice of an on-module antenna or an IPEX MHF4 connector for external antennas. In addition, the module will carry modular FCC, IC, CE, MIC and Bluetooth SIG approvals covering multiple antenna listings, which can extend to your design with no new testing for the fastest route to production.
