Bluetooth product questions
Common questions about cost, chipsets, certification, range, and battery life for Bluetooth and BLE product development.
How much does a bluetooth project cost?
Bluetooth project costs depend on the number of engineering disciplines involved (hardware, firmware, mechanical, software), the type of Bluetooth (Classic, BLE, mesh, audio), the certification scope, and whether a companion app is in play. Most Bluetooth projects sit in the high five-figure range. More demanding work can extend into six figures. That covers audio profiles, mesh networking, full Bluetooth SIG and regional certification, and companion apps. Send us a brief and we'll come back with a realistic estimate. Get in touch.
Should I use Bluetooth Classic or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for my product?
Use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for sensors, wearables, beacons, asset trackers, and any battery-powered product where multi-year coin-cell life matters. Many modern products use dual-mode chipsets that support both. LE Audio (Bluetooth 5.2+) is rapidly replacing Classic for new audio products, thanks to lower power and the LC3 codec.
What Bluetooth chipset do you recommend for a new product?
Chipset selection depends on features, power budget, and volume. Nordic nRF52832 and nRF52840 are our go-to for most BLE sensor and IoT products, thanks to mature SDKs and strong low-power performance. Nordic nRF5340 suits dual-core designs needing BLE 5.3, LE Audio, or Matter. We'll understand your application and needs first, then pick the best fit for capabilities, quantities, and budget.
What range can you achieve with BLE?
BLE range is 10 to 50 metres indoors and 100 to 400 metres line-of-sight. The exact number depends on antenna design, transmit power, and BLE 5.x features like Long Range (Coded PHY). With proper antenna matching and +8 dBm output, we have delivered over 1 km line-of-sight on BLE 5 Long Range.
What battery life can you achieve with BLE?
The main factors that drive a product's battery life are how often the device can sleep versus being active, and the energy capacity of the battery. Depending on the application, we can achieve from 6 months to 5 years. All of this is considered at the start of a project, and we'll walk you through the trade-offs.
