How can my overall design be cheaper and quicker to prototype?

Answer

The BASIC on our BLE module means you can do all sorts of programming without the need for a toolchain, which eliminates the need for an external processor. The BLE module has an ARM Cortex processor running at 16 MHz from on-board flash (hence no wait states). Designing a product using an external PIC could compress development time from months to a few days.
