High-power BLE 5.0 devices on the market

[Dave501]

I'm looking for a gateway (or BLE 5.0 device that can connect to a gateway, e.g. USB dongle) that uses the nRF52 series solutions with an amplifier that brings the transmission power output to +20dBm. Does anyone know of a device on the market or soon to be released at or near this transmission power rating?

Nordic have a list of known 3rd-party modules here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/3rd-Party-Bluetooth-low-energy-Modules

awneil, thanks for pointing out this resource. I had taken a look at those and hadn't found a solution that fits my needs other than the Fanstel products. I'm specifically looking for an end product solution, like the gateway made by Fanstel (https://www.fanstel.com/bwg832x-wifi-ble-5-iot-gateway/) That one might work, but isn't perfect because it cannot be networked via ethernet. WiFi and USB only.

Any suggestions for a high-power gateway?

Have you seen this one: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/40213/tx-power-nrf52840 ?

Thanks for your reply. I had not seen that. But it still is not a market ready gateway or dongle at high power, right? The BT SIG now allows up to +20dBm for BT 5.0.
