    Hi.

    There is a lot of information regarding Bluetooth 5. I suggest you take a look at this link:
    https://www.bluetooth.com/bluetooth-resources/bluetooth-5-go-faster-go-further/ 
    Where you can find a detailed technical paper where BluetoothRegistered Technical Program Manager Martin Woolley provides an in-depth look at the Bluetooth 5 core specification.

    On nordic side, we have both HW and SW that supports bluetooth 5.
    The nRF52-series is the only SoC's that currently supports BT5. Note that some SoC's might not support all BT5 features.

    One of the examples in the nRF5 SDK that implements one of the BT5 features is the ble_app_rscs example, which implements extended advertising.

    Regarding Mesh, you can take a look at this link:
    https://www.bluetooth.com/bluetooth-resources/bluetooth-mesh-networking-an-introduction-for-developers/  
    Which is a great introduction to Bluetooth Mesh Networking.

    If you want to look at examples etc. for Bluetooth Mesh, you can download our nRF5 SDK for Mesh.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    thanks for your answer but my question is about an example only for bt 5,like only for ant and for thread / zigbee.

    The ble_app_rscs example uses only BT5?

    Thanks!!

    Hi. I think you might have misunderstood Bluetooth 5. 

    Bluetooth 5, released in July 2016, was at the time the latest version. Bluetooth technology is managed by the Bluetooth SIG which releases the specifications. 

    Bluetooth v.4.2 was the preceding version that Bluetooth 5 was further developed from. The main features of Bluetooth 5 was the ability to have longer range, extended advertising and higher throughput. 

    As far as I know we don't have any examples to implement all the Bluetooth 5 features, if that is what you are looking for? 

    Best regards,
