Bluetooth Range

Hi 

I am a beginner in the MCU and SoC realm. I was checking the nRF52810 WLCSP33 specs but could not find any mention of the bluetooth range. Is it a standard range for Bluetooth 5 or does the range vary?

Thank You

  • Is it a standard range for Bluetooth 5 or does the range vary

    Bluetooth was designed as a "PAN" = "Personal Area Network" - ie, short range.

    But the actual achievable range of any radio system in practice is strongly affected by a wide range of things

    It uses 2.4GHz - so is never going to be good for for penetration through walls, crowds of people, foliage, etc.

    You can adjust the Tx Power - which will obviously affect range.

    Your antenna & enclosure design will have a major effect.

    What it's talking to will have a major effect.

    etc, etc, ...
