BL652 Series
BAluetooth® Smart v4.2 + NFC Module
NEXT-GEN BLE AND NFC ON ONE MODULE
Laird’s BL652 contains the latest generation
silicon with Bluetooth Smart v4.2 capabilities and
groundbreaking ultra-low power performance.
Building on the expertise of the BL600 Series, the
BL652’s smaller form factor, class leading Nordic
nRF52 silicon, optimized low power schemes
and smartBASIC programming language
provide a secure, stable, hostless Bluetooth
environment. The BL652 introduces Bluetooth
v4.2 and NFC, bringing industrial security and
feature expansion to Laird’s proven Bluetooth
Low Energy modules. In addition, the BL652
contains Bluetooth 5 ready hardware, pending
the release of the Bluetooth 5 specification. Let
Laird’s innovative BL652 series and decades of
expertise in Bluetooth module design speed your
product to market.
