&lt;p&gt;That obviously depends on what code you&amp;#39;re starting from!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only&amp;nbsp;thing the code has control of is&amp;nbsp;The Tx Power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you used an nRF528&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;40&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, you could enable the Coded-PHY (BLE 5 long-range) - but the nRF528&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;32&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t have that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apart from that, it would need hardware changes; eg, better antenna.&lt;/p&gt;
