Nordic moving to 20 dBm?

[Allen Engel]

I have been researching BLE 5.0 for the feasibility of Nordic Bluetooth chips in our new products.

I have read many times in the general internet posts that BLE 5.0 devices will have greater range, partly due to the migration to 20 dBm.

However I am concerned that these internet posts are not based on real world activity.  I predict that most BLE products will not move to 20 dBm.

In general, could you indicate if Nordic is changing most of its 2019 and later chips to 20 dBm?  I suspect not.

Thank you for your great advice.  I really appreciate the wise counsel from the contributors to this Nordic forum.

Thanks, Allen

Hi Allen,

 

 

In general, could you indicate if Nordic is changing most of its 2019 and later chips to 20 dBm?

Even if I knew, I would not be allowed to tell you. Things that are road-map related have to go through our sales department.

 

Me, and the rest of my colleagues at Technical Support, will never comment on rumors, upcoming features, road-maps, release dates, or similar.

Mainly because this is not something that we focus on having the latest-and-greatest information about.

Our daily job is to focus on what we offer now, and provide you with the best possible support with any issues or other technical questions you may have.

 

If you do not have the contact details of your local sales manager, send me a private message with your location in this world, and I'll give you a contact point.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
