 I would like to calculate maximum range between two devices equipped with nRF52840 transceivers working in the IEEE 802.15.4 radio mode. Can I assume that -100 dBm receiver sensitivity was defined for BER=1e-4 or equivalent condition?

As soon as you have any BER due to low SNR you&amp;#39;re at your maximum range. The signal is at the noise floor so you&amp;#39;ll have less then 1dB between some BER and just noise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;BER=1e-4 and you&amp;#39;ll be fine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
