Hello! When using the BLE Proximity Profile, is real (versus predicted) RSSI data used?

The key requirement is being able to read real RSSI data (not predicted data).

Some prelim feedback I have been given is...most, if not all, BLE solutions support reading a RSSI of the local radio and have an api available in the SDK. PSoC Creator or WICED based modules are suggested as they support the Proximity Profile/Service which reads local and remote RSSI data.Link Quality and IQ is subjective and specific per solution. RSSI with Proximity Service is one that would be less subjective as all solutions that support Proximity services would have to has similar RSSI ranges/values for different manufacturers to support.

Hi,

Yes, the device will read the real RSSI value.

We do have the APIs for reading RSSI values as well.

Could you please confirm which chip are you using?.

Thanks,

Anjana
