The Teledyne LeCroy 2014-10004-001 Frontline Sodera is a single-mode BLE protocol analyzer engineered for real-time capture and decoding of Bluetooth BR/EDR and Low Energy traffic across all channels simultaneously. It supports Bluetooth 5.3 and later versions through a software-defined radio architecture, with explicit support for Bluetooth 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 5.0 LE specifications. The analyzer captures all packet types concurrently—including pre-connection traffic, Frequency Hopping Sequence packets, and all Bluetooth 5 PHYs—while performing wideband acquisition across the entire 2.4 GHz ISM band.
