u-blox EVK-ANNA-B5 Evaluation Kits

u-blox EVK-ANNA-B5 Evaluation Kits are designed to evaluate ANNA-B5 stand-alone BLUETOOTH® LE modules. These kits enable quick prototyping of low-power IoT applications that support BLUETOOTH® channel sounding and the 802.15.4-2020 standard, including Thread®, Matter™, and Zigbee®. The ANNA-B50 modules are built on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF54L15 chipset, featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M33 microcontroller, 1.5MB NVM, up to 256kB RAM, and 128MHz system clock. The EVK-ANNA-B5 kits include the EVK-ANNA-B5 board, an external 2.4GHz antenna with a U.FL connector, an NFC antenna, and a USB cable. All features supported in the ANNA-B50 series modules are easily accessible from the Evaluation Kit (EVK).
