Hello Amanda,

Could you please let me know if there is an updated software patch or a workaround for using Mesh over Long range using nRF Connect SDK? Since the new package has a new software layout architecture and involves changing project configuration, it is difficult to replicate the changes mentioned above that are done in older SDK for Mesh.

I have also opened a new ticket with necessary information. Case:283954

Hi,

The Bluetooth Mesh specification is based on the BLE v.4.2 specification, hence there are no BT5 features available in Mesh. This might be added in a later version of the specification.
It should be possible to create a test setup using long range and Mesh, but note that end product using BT5 LR will not be certified as they don't comply with the specification.
