backward compatible Beacon kit

Usman Rashid

Thanks for all support so far.

One thing I want to ask that does your nordic Beacon chip can support Bluetooth 2,0 as well ?

I mean is it backward compatible

    Hello Usman,

    BT SIG Core specification introduced LE (Low Energy) parts in v4.0 so there is not backward compatibility to v2.0. You need to understand that Bluetooth as trademark (blue oval on the box;) consists of two major technologies which are pretty different (although they both run in 2.4GHz ISM band): "Classic" (Bluetooth BR/EDR) and "Low Energy". Nordic's products support only LE part of the specification so they are not compatible with "Classic" standards (like BT Core v2.0) or features.

    Cheers Jan
