New Distribution Partnership in European Region – Acal BFi

 [New Taipei City, Taiwan – January 12, 2026]

Raytac Corporation, a global leading supplier of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and wireless modules, announces a strategic partnership with Acal BFi(Website link) to strengthen wireless connectivity support for customers across Europe.
Through this collaboration, Raytac’s portfolio of pre-certified Bluetooth® Low Energy, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi + Bluetooth modules will be supported by Acal BFi’s local application engineering and design-in expertise.

Raytac specializes in short-range RF connectivity, delivering production-ready wireless modules optimized for low power consumption, RF robustness, and fast system integration.
Additionally, Raytac focuses on simplifying wireless design while ensuring stable performance across demanding industrial, medical, and IoT environments.

Raytac’s module portfolio includes ultra-low-power Bluetooth LE modules, Wi-Fi modules, and versatile Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo solutions designed for reliable radio coexistence and long-term availability.
All Raytac modules are pre-certified to major global regulatory standards, including CE, FCC, IC, UKCA, TELEC, KC, RCM, SRRC, NCC, and WPC, enabling customers to significantly reduce certification time and compliance risk.

“Great ideas deserve great hardware,” said Lyon Liu, CEO, Raytac. “Our mission is to remove complexity from wireless design. Together with Acal BFi, we can now support customers not only with modules, but with the integration expertise to make sure those modules perform in the real world – in metal housings, in noisy RF environments, in medical devices, in smart sensors, wherever reliability matters.”

“Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is now a core requirement in almost every market we serve – from smart infrastructure and industrial automation to healthcare and sensing,” said Matthias Beuther, Business Development Manager, Acal BFi. “By partnering with Raytac, we are adding a powerful and proven wireless platform to our portfolio. The combination of Raytac’s module technology and our application engineering expertise gives our customers a faster, lower-risk path to market.”

By working closely with Acal BFi’s IoT & Wireless Technology Centre, customers gain access to local technical support covering antenna selection and tuning, power optimization, enclosure considerations, and coexistence validation. This partnership enables a more predictable, minimal-risk path from prototype to volume production for high-reliability wireless products deployed in real-world environments.

Bluetooth Module UKCA Certification

"The UKCA marking came into effect on 1 January 2021. However, to allow businesses time to adjust to the new requirements, you will still be able to use the CE marking until 1 January 2023 in most cases" according to British Government's announcement. 

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking has been an issue for brands since Brexit effected which regulate for goods, products been placed, used, sold in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most goods which previously required the CE marking.

Bluetooth module provides wireless communication by using radio wave to connect over distances are requited to meet compliance with local standard. As the worldwide key Nordic solution module manufacturer, Raytac will continue to fulfill every major local government's guidance of regulation compliance such as FCC, IC, CE, MIC, ....and UKCA for sure.

Burn your firmware - onto MDBT50Q-RX, that is.

Hi there, folks!

Here introduce the hardware setting perspective to burn your firmware onto MDBT50Q-RX Dongle.

(if you are looking for firmware coding setting, please visit "Firmware Coding & DFU onto MDBT50Q-RX")

So you have hopefully downloaded your IDE, you have written your code which you then plan to copy it over onto your MDBT50Q-RX and make it execute your master plan to take over the world!
Seriously, don't underestimate the Nordic nRF52840 based MDBT50Q-RX. USB sticks with Bluetooth can do wonders ;)
So, first of all, in order to be able to burn your code onto the USB Dongle, you will have to know the nerdy parts which includes which pins you will have to connect to. In our very well documented specification sheet for MDBT50Q-RX on section 8 which is called "Reference Circuit", you will find parts down to the left that has "3.3V/SWDIO/SWCLK/GND" marks on it:


Further down in the specification sheet, in section 9, you will find pictures illustrating where exactly on the PCB you can find these pins:
Pin locations

Now we know what to look for and where they are, so now we have only got to tell you how to use them.

Some people might not know this, but for developing these things, you need to get something called J-Link to connect your MDBT50Q-RX to your desktop. However, since this J-Link, when buying the official one from SEGGER, is very expensive, we strongly recommend you to just buy the nRF52840-DK from Nordic Semiconductor as it can be used as a J-Link through their software development kit (SDK) called nRFgo Studio and is MUCH CHEAPER than the official J-Link from SEGGER is.
Sidenote: There are a couple of other reasons why you should just get your hands on a nRF52840-DK from Nordic Semiconductor instead of getting a SEGGER J-Link, but that's not the topic of this post ;)

When this is done, this is finally how you connect your MDBT50Q-RX to your J-Link to make it all work:

MDBT50Q-RX and J-Link connection

Here you will have to pay attention to the fact that you have to connect J-Link pins 3, 5 & 9 to GND. Otherwise, you won't be able to burn anything onto your dear MDBT50Q-RX.
The physical connection should look like this:

J-Link Cable Connection

Pay attention to the direction of the cable, because that will also matter. The direction we mean in this case is which way the slim strip of red is facing.

As we have just revised our MDBT50Q-RX, our customers who have been developing firmware for our USB dongle should take a look at our previous blog post in which we explain about the changes made or contact us directly at service@raytac.com

Have a good day and we at Raytac wish you smooth and happy tinkering :)
