Selection Recommendations
Based on power consumption, transmission range, network scale, and budget, EBYTE Bluetooth module selection follows these principles:
By Core Requirements
-
Ultra-Low Power + Battery-Powered Devices:
Prioritize E104-BT53C3 (BLE 5.4, automotive-grade) or E83-2G4M03S (sleep current <1μA) for wireless smoke detectors and Temperature and humidity sensors. -
Long Range + Anti-Interference:
Choose E104-BT12NSP (Mesh networking, external IPEX antenna, 600m range) for industrial factory monitoring and smart agricultural greenhouses. -
Audio Transmission + Low Latency:
Select EWM104-BT5125 Series (LE Audio, I2S/SPDIF) for TWS earphones and smart speakers. -
Multi-Protocol Integration:
Opt for E72 Series (BLE + ZigBee) or E104-BT40 (Dual-Mode) for smart home hubs and industrial multi-protocol gateways.
By Cost Sensitivity
-
Extreme Cost Savings (10k+ Volume): Entry-level BLE module E104-BT07 ($3.5–$4.5) for basic data transparent transmission.
-
Balanced Performance & Cost: E104-BT11G (Mesh networking, $6–$8) for small-to-medium smart home projects (supports 50+ nodes).
-
High-End Custom Needs: E105-BS21 SLE Module ($12–$15) for medical and industrial devices requiring high speed and low power.
Development & Compliance Considerations
-
Rapid Prototyping: Choose models with evaluation kits (e.g., E104-BT53C3-EVK) and sample code to shorten testing cycles.
-
Certification Support: For industrial use, select CE/FCC-certified modules (e.g., E104-BT12 Series) to avoid export compliance risks.
