How to use Bluetooth 5 on nRF52840

[Alice]

Hello,

I'm using nRF52840 which is surpport Bluetooth 5. I couldn't understand why it can do 8 X range and 2 X data rate than Bluetooth 4.2.

Besides, how to use Bluetooth 5 on nRF52840? Now I'm using the ble_app_uart example, is there any example I could refer to? Thanks.

Hi,

In the SDK 13 we have made an example called ATT_MTU Throughput Example you can use to test both the high data throughput(2Mbps PHY) and the long range feature(coded PHY) introduced with Bluetooth 5.

If you want to read more about how this is possible, I suggest checking out these 2 blog posts: blog.bluetooth.com/exploring-bluetooth-5-going-the-distance
