[quote userid="83929" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/52927/bluetooth-range"]Is it a standard range for Bluetooth 5 or does the range vary[/quote]

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, ...
