Implementation of a project on the Bluetooth 5 network practical

[aydinabbood]

Hi my friends, Nordic DevZone
I have a project implemented on Bluetooth 5 network consisting of master and slaves ((1) master and slaves (7)) For example if I use (two kits and another use smartphones) I have data (payload) transfer from master to slaves (60 bytes) (any data).
To take some reading of the performance of this network such as throughput, energy consumption and distance.
If I use these kit (nRF52840 or others)  in my project.
Is there a special program that we can deal with to calculate and read the results (the program is installed on a master laptop) such as (software development kit).

Hi Aydin

No, we don't have an "all-in-one" solution for seeing throughput performance, energy consumption, and distance. For estimated throughput, you can check out this Novelbits blog post showing some examples of what throughput to expect when using BLE 5.0 and the nRF52840.

As for current consumption, we have the online power profiler where you can see the estimated current consumption of the nRF52 series chips in various modes. You can also check out the Power Profiler Kit for a physical solution to measure the current consumption directly from a DK with any application on.

The range I'm afraid we don't have resources providing accurate estimates for, as this is very dependent on the environment you're using the nRF52840 DK in. With ideal conditions and the long-range mode (Coded PHY) in BLE 5.0 we measured up to 1300 meters range in this blog post, but if you are using it in an office environment with a lot of interference sources you likely won't reach much more than 100m (in line of sight).

Best regards,
