can i get a range up to 150 meter ?

[Tizana]

Hi,

i'm wondering if there is any IC (for example nRF52832) that can reach a range up to 155 meters available within the Nordic semiconductor catalog ? i know that the Bluetooth range depend on many factors like the PCB design, PCB case... but i mean when the antenna track is well designed and the antenna is tuned in his real environment,

the only option that i know so far that may do this range easily is the nRF52840, but this chip is not available right now, only in a development kit.

thx,

Only to increase the range is not the problem. They are severall steps to be cleared before: -What for a device is used as other point? (mobile phone, nRF-based device etc.) -Will you only make a test or should it work after regulatory tests? (FCC etc.) The first step is to choose a very good antena model with a big groundplane. The best amplifier is a good antena. But this rule is valid for booth sides. It makes no sense to talk with +4dBm and a big antenna if the receiver is deaf. Always you must observe the complete setup, not only one endpoint of the connection. I have a costumer application where we come only 1m with a good setup and 4dBm, but the module is inside of the human body :-), the same setup on fre air we reach several 100m
