certification ensures that it meets the highest security needs.
3. Multi-Protocol It supports not only Bluetooth Low Energy, but
also Thread and Matter standard*2. Furthermore, it can communicate
using a proprietary 4Mbps mode.
4. Built-in Antenna and Pre-Certified Features a built-in
antenna, eliminating the need for antenna design. It has obtained
Bluetooth qualification and certifications for Radio Law MIC
(Japan), FCC (USA), and ISED (Canada), reducing the time and
costs.
