This would be hard to predict unless you actually evaluate.
You can also add a PA/LNA with the nRF52832 so that range anxiety can be reduced.

The Mesh SDK has statistical information reports so you can get details of packets lost (CRC errors, length errors etc) and get a idea of the margin available in a specific installation.

You should also be able to run the mesh in the 250 kbit proprietary radio mode that is available in the nRF52832 to also increase the range if needed.

Hello,

If you are using Bluetooth Mesh, which is built on BLE4.0, which does not support LE coded PHY.

It is true that nRF52832 has lower tx power, but the range will, as you say depend on the environment, so it is difficult to say exactly how far this will reach.

Maybe someone else has some experience with range in a similar environment?

Best regards,

Edvin
