The BLE 2 Click Board™ is an excellent choice if you want simple, temporary connectivity with your smart devices over Bluetooth 4.1.
The BLE 2 Click Board™ features the RN4020 module from Microchip, which integrates RF, a baseband controller, and a command API processor, making it a complete Bluetooth Low Energy solution. The Click Board™ communicates with the target board MCU through MikroBUSRX, TX and AN (CMD), PWM (con.), and RST (wake) lines. The board is designed to use a 3.3V power supply only.

The BLE2 Click Board™ features the RN4020 module from Microchip, which integrates RF, a baseband controller, and a command API processor, making it a complete Bluetooth Low Energy solution.

Microchip Low-energy Data Profile
The RN4020 has Microchip's Low-energy Data Profile (MLDP) which enables an asynchronous serial data connection between two RN4020 devices (which could be two BLE2 Click Board™s). The module can be remotely controlled or updated over the air by another module over a secure connection or can be controlled or updated through its UART interface.
PCB trace Antenna
The RN4020 module aboard BLE2 click incorporates a PCB antenna with a range of at least 30m.
Bluetooth 4.1
Bluetooth 4.1 is intended for IoT, it has low power consumption and lets any device be a peripheral and a hub at the same time.

Software Support
The code sets up the BLE2 Click Board™ and sends messages through Bluetooth low energy every 5 seconds. If the BLE2 click board receives messages over Bluetooth low energy, the code displays the message and updates the buffer.
