Matter over Bluetooth LE

Matter

Matter provides a shared foundation on which to build an application. The goal is to have interoperability between devices and ecosystems.

Apple Find My network

The Apple Find My network is a crowdsourced network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that use Bluetooth wireless technology to detect missing devices or items nearby, and report their approximate location back to the owner. Several SoCs in Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52 Series support the Find My network sample project in nRF Connect SDK, including the nRF52832, nRF52833 and nRF52840. They can be used to add Find My compatibility to any new product going to market.
