https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/26069/connectable-range-is-equal-to-the-range-that-the-smartphone-is-able-to-get-advertisingIt&#39;s kind of relative question with my previous question. &quot;When smartphone range is shorter than a peripheral(nRF5X), is there any way to receive an advertisement from the peripheral?&quot; devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ test device : nRF51822 / iPhoneen-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 19 Oct 2017 19:50:41 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/102745?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 19 Oct 2017 19:50:41 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:117dd4be-8c7a-40aa-9438-34b64aa76043endnode<p>Kind of logical: the range where receiver is still able to distinguish ADV packets will be the same as range where it stops recognizing Link Layer PDU packets because it&#39;s both given just by signal strength, noise on given channel and sensitivity of the receiver. If you are in the same topology/environment and you have still the same receiver then both types of packets will be captured by the phone with the same probability... (in the end it&#39;s statistics so there shouldn&#39;t be absolutely sharp edge of good and bad zone, at least final 4-10dBm above recevier&#39;s absolute sensitivity limit (typically somewhere between -80 and -105dBm) should exhibit partial packet loss (not 100%:0%) if you are able to keep the properties of the system and measure hundreds of packets.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
