BGM210P Blue Gecko Bluetooth Module
Data Sheet
The BGM210P is a module designed and built to meet the per-
formance, security, and reliability requirements of line-powered
IoT products for Bluetooth networks.
Based on the EFR32BG21 SoC, it enables Bluetooth
®
Low Energy and Bluetooth Mesh
connectivity while delivering best-in-class RF range and performance, future-proof capa-
bility for feature and OTA firmware updates, enhanced security, low active current con-
sumption, and a temperature rating suited for operating in demanding environmental
conditions.
The BGM210P is a complete solution that comes with robust and fully-upgradeable soft-
ware stacks, world-wide regulatory certifications, advanced development and debugging
tools, and support that will simplify and minimize the development cycle and deployment
of your end-product helping to accelerate its time-to-market.
The BGM210P is targeted for a broad range of applications, including:
• Smart home
