BGM113 Blue Gecko Bluetooth® Smart
Module Data Short
The Blue Gecko BGM113 is a Bluetooth® Smart Module targeted for Bluetooth Smart
applications where small size, reliable RF, low-power consumption, and easy application
development are key requirements. At +3 dBm TX power, BGM113 is ideal for applica-
tions requiring short and medium range Bluetooth Smart connectivity.
The BGM113 integrates all of the necessary elements required for a Bluetooth Smart ap-
plication: Bluetooth radio, software stack, and GATT-based profiles, and it can also host
end user applications, which means no external microcontroller is required in size, price
or power constrained devices. The BGM113 Bluetooth Smart Module also has highly
flexible hardware interfaces to connect to different peripherals or sensors.
BGM113 can be used in a wide variety of applications:
