BLE Mesh Range

[Urvisha Andani]

I am Currently under process of evaluating various modules for implementing BLE Mesh, Had few concerns regarding the same, would be great if someone can clarify upon them.

1) In Nrf Modules weather BLE Mesh in Implemented upon BLE4 or BLE5

2) Max Transmit power that can used in MESH Mode

3) In Mesh Mode are Le Phy coded configuration are available. particularly looking at 125 bp/s.

Ran into  range issues with BLE solution from another vendor that i was testing (Normal mode was great,but MESH mode had limitations), so thought of clarifying this questions before starting tests with NRf solutions.

Any redirection towards an In-Depth article would be of great help too.

As Marjeris Romero said, The Bluetooth SIG specifies BLE Mesh to use BLE 4.0 - so you can't use BLE 5 features if you want to be compliant with the standard.

Of course, if standards compliance is not important to you, there's nothing to stop you developing your own proprietary variant ...

But you would not be allowed to call it, "BLE Mesh"

Thanks for the insite, looks like proprietary variant is the way ahead :)
