[Nick Zhong]

Hi Sir.

customer want to add FEM for nRF7002, target to extend range around 1.5KM.

please check if nRF7002 can support FEM for this application.

Thanks.

Hi

Increasing the range to as much as 1.5km I don't think will be possible to achieve, as I've never heard of Wi-Fi networks with or without a FEM going as far as a kilometer. Another protocol, like cellular IoT would be better for this use case I believe.

Best regards,

Simon
