nRF52840 Preview DK

Hi

I ordered Nrf52832 DK board instead of ordering nrf52840 Preview DK. I need to test bluetooth 5 stack,range ,bandwidth and through output.

Is the nrf52832 will support bluetooth 5 or can i need to replace with Nrf52840 board?.

Kindly suggest me, because reshipment will take much time.

  • If you need long range, you must use the nRF52840 as the nRF52832 does not have the high power transmitter needed to meet the full Bluetooth 5 specification.

    I think from a technical standpoint the nRF52832 could probably operate at the lower data rate needed for long range operation. But when I asked a Nordic representative about this, they told me that the lower data rate would not get implemented in the nRF52832 - it would only be available on the nRF52840
