Hello,
no it is not necessary to buy an extra bluetooth antenna. It is already part of any netPI.
As with the original Raspberry Pi 3B there is a chip antenna used that supports both Wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. This antenna is connected to the BCM43438 chip.
Since netPI has a metallic housing we put the chip antenna outside the housing with a small bridge in the PCB with a plastic dome around it to protect it.
Thx
Armin
