Choose correct module based on nrf52832 chip

[Stas]

I have two supplier for provide me nrf52832's based modules. So I tested it and both is ok. The distance used pcb antenna almost the same (about 80m).

If I use on external antenna with gain 3dbi I got +20% previous distance, also on that board we have metal shield, also it's has 4-layers board intead of 2-layer board and tells me that because of that the impedance is better.

I need a lot of nrf52832 modules but confused which one is pick up

You may want to check for certification and compliance eg. FCC & IC certified?, CE compliant?

It's more important for me compare these two modules in technical part. I remind green one has 4 layers (and they said the impedance is better) against 2 layers for black one, and for there's metal shield for green board as you can see, also IPEX socket option (manage by short bridge). I'll need a lot of one of that module so it's important for me to choose correct one. The price almost the same.

If you cannot find the parts listed here on our page, then I would as Matt suggests, look into what kind of certification that the module has been through as you want a module that has been pre-qualified. Moreover, you need to take into consideration where you're going to sell you're product, e.g. Japan requires the module to be shielded, while you will not need the shielding in Europe/Americas.
