Note that it does not support the long-range capabilities of Bluetooth 5.0, the nRF52840 and nRF52833 do.</p> <p>The biggest change between Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.0 is that 5.0 introduced 3 new PHYs (physical layers) in its protocol stack. These include 2Mbps, Coded PHY S=8 (125kbps long-range), and Coded PHY S=2 (500kbps long-range). This means that the Bluetooth 5.0 stack is able to either double the data throughput or quadruple the range from the 1Mbps physical layer used in Bluetooth 4.2.</p> <p>You can see various other differences between the versions in <a href="https://www.amarinfotech.com/differences-comparisons-bluetooth-5-vs-4-2.html">this blog post.</a></p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Simon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
