S130 Multi-link SoftDevice released. Tell us what you think.

John Leonard

Our most advanced Bluetooth Smart SoftDevice to date is now - S130. We're excited in a big way about this one covering as it does so many different options in one protocol stack.

Again, we always value feedback from you guys toiling hard out there making great and cool stuff that the world gets to see and use, or just making things because it's fun and cool. So please let us know here - what's great, what's not, improvements, tweaks, it's all great for us, and you in the long run.

cheers, The Nordic Team

  • John & the Nordic team: I am excited about the S130 SD release. The "S130_SoftDevice_Specification_v0.5.pdf" states "Home Automation" as being a potential application. From my experiments, the NRF51822 can reliably work indoors for a range of up to 30 feet - at least in the indoor scenarios I have tested in. How can this limited range (compared to sub-GHz transceivers), be overcome in order for the S130 SD to be used in home automation applications? Would appreciate comments/thoughts on the same.
