Long range support with 125Kbps and 500Kbps data rate
Bluetooth Mesh support
Renesas proprietary Mesh support
Bluetooth Low Energy location and up to 8-antenna indoor
positioning support
Renesas extended profile with audio support for voice
command-based searches
Bluetooth Mesh Features
Compatible with Bluetooth Mesh specification 1.0, with
additional features from Renesas enhanced design
Supports flexible mesh control such as N-to-1 and N-to-M
Supports switch control for over 200 nodes without delay
Supports real time status update for over 200 nodes
Secure and safe control and scalable identification within
network
8/16 groups can be controlled at the same time
128/256 nodes within mesh network
Configurable to more or fewer hops within mesh network,
single hop delay less than 15ms
Flexible RF channel usage with both Bluetooth Low Energy
advertising channels and data channels for good anti-
interference performance
Concurrent Mode Feature
In concurrent mode, the chip supports multiple standard working
concurrently. Typical combination is Bluetooth LE + 802.15.4
based standard (for example ZigBee, Thread, or 6LoWPAN):
Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4 based stacks can run
concurrently with one application state based on time division
technology; for example, Bluetooth Low Energy stack and Thread
stack will run alternately during the divided time slots.
