Looking for products that use the nRF52840

[daniel_avrella]

Hi, we're looking for specific products but are having a hard time finding them, especially Long Range versions.

- beacons that use the 52840 for Long Range (something like ruuvi.com);
- gateways (the devices that capture the beacon signals and send them to the internet)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Check out the Nordic news archive - they often feature announcements of products using Nordic chips.

But, in general, product manufacturers don't publicise what parts they use.

But why does it matter what chips these things use? Surely, all a user needs to know is the performance & compatibility specs?

Hi Awneil, thanks for answering. 
I'll be checking the news archive.

Actually, the difference of the 52840 is exactly its performance for long range, which is important for our use cases (mainly cold chamber and refrigerators). But it's fairly new for us too, so if you have any suggestions I'm very open to hear them.

By "long range" I thought you were talking specifically about the BLE 5.0 Long Range features (Coded PHY).

That's it!

I don't think there are many Beacons on the market having Long Range because the feature is not support by most of the mobile phones.

You may want to look into our module maker, you can find here. 

Regarding gateway, one example could be the Cascade gateway from Rigado: https://www.rigado.com/cascade-gateway/ It's a white label solution that you can put your brand on.
