 I&amp;#39;m working on a &amp;quot;handsfree&amp;quot; audio guide for a museum application. Right now I&amp;#39;m exploring BLE to trigger the audio files based on the received signal strength of Beacons. Unfortunately my application might ask for beacons being quite close</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2021 09:57:25 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/82639/beacons-close-to-each-other-directed-ble-beacon-signal-possible" /><item><title>RE: Beacons close to each other.

If you want to test an approach with external antenna you can for instance just purhase an nRF52-DK, which can be used with external antenna. In terms of modules you may find this overview useful:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Nordic-Partners/3rd-party-modules"&gt;https://www.nordicsemi.com/Nordic-Partners/3rd-party-modules&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
