Thread with Coded PHY

[ENC]

Hello,

I'm working on a project with the nRF52840 PCA10056 board. I want to use Thread protocol. But I'm not sure if Thread supports Coded PHY, a feature of Bluetooth 5.0. Can Thread be used like BLE Long Range or Thread distance can be increased?

Thank you for your help,

Best Regards.

Thread doesn't use Bluetooth at all - it's IEEE 802.15.4

Agree with Andrew, Thread is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and PHY layers at the bottom, and the IEEE 802.15.4 standard supports a 250 kbit/s data link at a range of 10m. If your applications need langer distance, you may need to add relay device or use other solutions like BLE long range.

Best regard,
