Bluetooth 5.1 nRF5340 compatibility

[Luisfc]

Hi,

I want to use the nRF5340 for a project that will use direction finding. I want to know if the Nordic nRF5340 SoC is compatible with Bluetoothe devices form other companies?

Thanks!

Hi

Yes, the nRF5340 will support Bluetooth 5.1 with direction finding. Part of the Bluetooth specification, is that all devices are able to communicate with one another, and an nRF5340 will be able to communicate with any other Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device. The direction finding feature however, is not something that is available on all BLE devices, and is specific to devices supporting Bluetooth v5.1 specifically.

Best regards,

Simon
