Difference Between Bluetooth Module and Beacon Module

By sdga:NiceRF Wireless Technology Co., Ltd

Bluetooth module: 

The Bluetooth module is a PCBA board with integrated Bluetooth function, which is used for short-distance wireless communication. According to the function, it is divided into Bluetooth data module and Bluetooth voice module. The Bluetooth module refers to a set of basic circuits of chips integrated with Bluetooth function, which is used for wireless network communication. It can be roughly divided into three types: data transmission module, Bluetooth audio module, Bluetooth audio + data two-in-one module and so on. Generally, modules have the properties of semi-finished products, which are processed on the basis of chips to make subsequent applications simpler.

Our Bluetooth module is a Bluetooth data module, such as:

BLE 5.2: BLE5201

BLE 5.1: BLE5101

BLE4.0: RF2541、RF2541-PL2

Bluetooth module

 

Beacon module: 

Beacon is a broadcast protocol based on the Bluetooth low energy protocol. The way it works is that a device equipped with BLE communication uses BLE technology to send its own unique ID around, and the application software that receives the ID will take some action based on that ID.

Beacon module Beacon600

Take our company's Beacon module Beacon600 as an example:

Compatible with Bluetooth. This module integrates the MCU and process the SPI protocol. It provides generic UART interface, users can connect the module with smart phone with BLE. This module has the same structure of BLE, and works as Broadcast mode of Bluetooth. It is easier and cost-effective compare with Bluetooth.

1. Beacon module adopts Ble protocol, which can communicate with BLE module and smart mobile phone,

2. Can communicate with Android and Apple mobile phones.

3. Broadcast communication can be peer to pear, many-to-many, and there is no limit on the number.

4. Uart interface with MCU on board, transparent transmission. no need to debug and firmwaer writing.
