SMK Develops Bluetooth 5.0-compliant
Small Bluetooth® low energy Module for IoT
Which Features Improved Transmission Speed

   SMK has developed a small Bluetooth® low energy module “BTS05 series” supporting Bluetooth® Version 5.0. It is compliant with 2M PHY for LE, the physical layer specification which is added as part of Bluetooth® Version 5.0, contributing to an improved transmission speed compared to the SMK’s previous product.
   BTS05 series is a small module with a built-in antenna that comes with the ”nRF52832” System-on-Chip (SoC) made by Nordic Semiconductor. (External Dimensions: 7.0mm×13.8mm×1.55mm)
    SMK provides it as a blank module for which customers are free to develop their own applications.
   This new series has pin compatibility with the previous product “BTS04 series”, and that allows easy replacement.
   To meet the customers' diverse needs, SMK intends to continue expanding the lineup of RF modules.
