Now in Stock: BL5340PA Dual-Core, Multi-Protocol, Long-Range Bluetooth Module from Laird Connectivity

The BL5340PA (Power Amplified) is now in stock and ready for your Bluetooth application! This is our most advanced, secure, and highest performing dual-core MCU architecture wireless solution available. Powered by Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF5340 SoC and nRF21540 FEM, this Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) module series directly targets applications that require the longest range and highest MCU performance. 

Adding the nRF21540 RF FEM improves the link budget and connection robustness and significantly increases wireless range versus only using the nRF5340 SoC. The partnering of the nRF5340 and nRF21540 together into a certified module enables a wide range of use cases including industrial predictive maintenance and long-range LE Audio capabilities.
