AT command module, an easy solution provides developers a quick breakthrough to Bluetooth connection. Without firmware effort needed, simply have commands setting on MCU and the start to enjoy the implement of bridging connectivity between devices through Bluetooth.
Raytac AT Command Family
After Raytac’s Peripheral (Salve) role AT command module released, the demand of Central role has been highlighted by developers.
To have a completed solution, Raytac today announced Central role, as known as Master, AT command module released.
Differ from Peripheral role AT command module built by nRF52810 solution, Central role AT command module deployed Nordic nRF52832 which employees 64K RAM and 512K Flash Memory.
Central Role AT Command Module: MDBT42Q-ATM
Central Role AT Command Module: MDBT42Q-PATM
The AT command modules, same as Raytac’s all other lines, are Bluetooth qualified (BT5/BT4.2) and FCC/IC/Telec/KC/SRRC/NCC pre-certified and CE compliant. A completed hardware and preloaded AT Command firmware solution not only simplify the designs and reduce BOM cost, but also waive the cost of regulatory burden and speed up time to market efficiency.

Bluetooth SIG announced the deprecation and withdrawal of older versions of the Bluetooth Core Specification.
Bluetooth SIG has policy in place to introduce the deprecation and withdraw process for older testing specification, listing procedure and core specification.
For core specification placed into withdrawn status, it will not be allowed to use the withdrawn version anymore. Any product wishes to qualify the Bluetooth Design under this deprecated version must pay additional deprecation fee.
Please refer to the revised plan and schedule summarized as below,
1.Withdrawal of the following on January 1, 2019:
Bluetooth Specification Version 2.0 + EDR
2.Deprecation of the following on January 1, 2019 and withdrawal on July 1, 2020:
Bluetooth Specification Version 2.1 + EDR
Bluetooth Core Specification Addendum 1
Bluetooth Specification Version 3.0 + HS
Bluetooth Specification Version 4.0
Bluetooth Core Specification Addendum 2
Bluetooth Core Specification Addendum 3 revision 2
Bluetooth Core Specification Addendum 4
Bluetooth Specification Version 4.1
Nordic’s information about Bluetooth Core Specification’s Impact!
After Nordic released nRF52840, the confusion raised what the difference between nRF52832. Raytac provided an easy comparison chart based on module solution hopes to provide a quick understanding in between.
Following Raytac’s Easy Employ Policy (EE), we are glad to announce that Raytac’s nRF52840 modules, MDBT50Q series have completed not only Bluetooth BQB certified, but also most popular countries’s safety regulation granted.
With the effort to provide a most coverage of the regulation compliance, developers who build up the IoT project by Raytac modules can be easier to develop without worry for product testing and manage the budget of development.
MDBT50Q powered by Nordic nRF52840 solution is a multi-protocol Bluetooth 5, Thread, IEEE 802.15.4, Zigbee, ANT+ solution incorporated 1MB flash memory, 256K RAM, built-in USB interface, supporting 5.5V DC/DC supply which is an edge cutting, ultra lower power solution ideal for all IoT applications. With completed pre-certified coverage, it bring the benefit for customers by reducing the design complexity, BOM cost and faster the Time-To-Market efficiency.
Raytac’s EE policy (Easy Employee) core is to provide the pre-certified modules.
Benefits from this policy, products built by Raytac’s module may save or reduce the procedure in certification application process which successfully improved Time To Market efficiency and Cost Effective for all customers.
Raytac’s latest module, MDBT50Q series module employed Nordic nRF52840 solution has developed 3 lines with different antenna type.
MDBT50Q-1M: Chip Antenna
MDBT50Q-P1M: PCB Antenna
MDBT50Q-U1M: u.FL connector with external Antenna.
We are glad to announce that MDBT50Q series modules have FCC Part 15 C Regulation Certificated granted with FCC ID: SH6MDBT50Q.
