 I would like to build two boards that can send small messages between them, at long distance. For that I would like to use some of your devices (I used 51822 in the past for BLE connectivity) with a custom radio protocol.

&lt;p&gt;You can also have a look at the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.nrf52840.ps%2Fradio.html&amp;amp;cp=2_1_0_21&amp;amp;anchor=concept_lhd_ygj_4r"&gt;nRF52840&lt;/a&gt; with its various data rate options. The nRF52840 has a maximum output power of 8 dBm. Perhaps &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/blogs/1076/nrf52840-long-range-demo/"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; blog post about long range testing with the nRF52840 can be interesting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
