nRF51822 Smart Beacon Kit distance

Shafy

Hi,

What is the typical range of operation that can be achieved by nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit ? I know it depends on the Tx power, but can a range of approx 30ms be achieved using the beacon kit ?

Thanks

    The rule of thumb for these kind of applications are 15-20 meters indoor and twice that range outside. The Nordic beacon kit is very small, so if range is a important metric, you should use a circuit board that's bigger to allow better/more ground plane and also better antenna placement compared to battery. 30 meters should not be a problem if you do a good design on your circuit board.
