New Features#

• For RS9116 ACx modules, a separate country region command has been added for BLE and BTC. Users can independently configure the BLE and BTC region settings before connecting to an Access Point (AP). After a successful AP connection, the BLE and BTC region settings are automatically updated to match the region supported by the AP.
