BT832X, BT832XE, The Longest Range Bluetooth  5 Module

BT832XE is a Bluetooth 5 module with nRF52832, SKY66112 power amplifier, and an u.FL connector for an external antenna. Bluetooth range with an +6 dBi external antenna is 1350 meters for all angles when one antenna is rotated by 30 degrees after each measurement.

The external antenna ANT060 is omni directional. BT832XE with ANT060 has the best receiver sensitivity at 1Mbps or 2 Mbps data rate among all BLE modules.

Sister module BT832X is with an integrated PCB trace antenna.

BT832X/BT832XE are FCC/ISED certified for both GFSK and FHSS modulations.
