Bluetooth
Bluetooth® is a short-range wireless communication standard. The standard is managed by Bluetooth SIG and the technology is found in most phones, laptop computers, and tablets. Operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the technology can be used worldwide and supports a wide range of use cases.
Nordic Semiconductor products support the power efficient Bluetooth LE protocol. The nRF Connect SDK provides a qualified Bluetooth core stack, profiles, and application examples for typical use cases.
If you want to go through an online training course to familiarize yourself with Bluetooth Low Energy and the development of Bluetooth LE applications, enroll in the Bluetooth LE Fundamentals course in the Nordic Developer Academy. The Designing low-power Bluetooth LE products course in the Nordic Developer Academy provides a comprehensive guide on low-power optimization for Bluetooth LE products.
The following section describes Bluetooth solution areas and architecture, as well as the Bluetooth Mesh protocol. It also includes guidelines on how to qualify a product that uses Bluetooth technology.
To enable Bluetooth LE in your application, you can use the standard HCI-based architecture, where the Bluetooth Host libraries (Bluetooth) are included in your application or run Bluetooth API functions as remote procedure calls using Bluetooth Low Energy Remote Procedure Call.
