https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/52424/power-consumption-verses-bit-rateHi All, I&#39;m working on minimizing power when transmitting a small message between two nRF52832 boards. I&#39;m also trying to maximize range so sensitivity is important. I noticed that I can increase range by decreasing bit rate, but I figure this willen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 24 Sep 2019 12:00:28 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/211528?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 24 Sep 2019 12:00:28 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3e3632cd-39f4-4927-b89c-d7f8b931ab25rshankle<p>Haakonsh,</p> <p>Sorry for the delay.&nbsp; Thanks for the information!</p> <p>Bob</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/211135?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 23 Sep 2019 08:14:43 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2c5fff8e-13ab-49f8-8082-31321c95db81haakonsh<p>The current consumption of the radio is virtually the same at all bit rates. The time it takes to transmit a set of data is, therefore, the only factor in the current consumption.&nbsp;</p> <p><span>I believe the NRF_ESB_BITRATE_2MPS_BLE uses the same sideband specs as BLE&nbsp;to increase the receiver sensitivity, it has nothing to do with power optimization.&nbsp;</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
