Plug-and-Play Bluetooth® Modules

Bluetooth® Has Never Been Easier


Whether it’s adding a smartphone interface or secure Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, there are many reasons to add Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) to your design. Despite the benefits, working with Bluetooth isn’t easy. It requires RF and network stack knowledge along with programming skills. 

What if you had a solution that was as effortless as simply powering on and connecting? Adding Bluetooth has never been easier than with our plug-and-play Bluetooth modules. Don’t let their simplicity fool you; with essential IoT features, these devices:

  • Are easy to control through ASCII commands sent over UART
  • Enable long-range connectivity with coded PHY
  • Are regulatory certified in several countries
  • Include mobile app source code for iOS® and Android™
