 I have two questions. Your thoughtful response will be appreciated. 
 1) What&amp;#39;s the impact on power consumption with 1 Mbps vs 500 kbps vs 125 kbps for the same amount of data transfer and approx. transmit range for these bit rates? For example</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 28 Dec 2020 14:15:20 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/69891/long-range-vs-power-consumption" /><item><title>RE: Long range vs power consumption</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/286734?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Dec 2020 14:15:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b11f1b69-aede-4f77-9673-7fa5e90f650c</guid><dc:creator>Stian R&amp;#248;ed Hafskjold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;1) The peak current during RX and TX will be the same for 1 Mbps and 125kbsp, but the radio will be turned on 8 times longer. So the current consumption for the RX and TX only will be 8 times higher. The rest will be the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can check out the &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/power/w/opp/2/online-power-profiler-for-ble"&gt;online power profiler&lt;/a&gt;. If you select the &amp;quot;Connection&amp;quot; role you can change the PHY to CODED S=8 to see how it impacts the current consumption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding the expected range improvements, please have a look at this blog: &lt;a href="https://blog.nordicsemi.com/getconnected/tested-by-nordic-bluetooth-long-range"&gt;https://blog.nordicsemi.com/getconnected/tested-by-nordic-bluetooth-long-range&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) The nRF52811, nRF52820, nRF52833, nRF52840 and nRF5340 support long range. You will have to check which one fits your requirement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
