We are Developing a product using RF NRF24l01+ LNA+PA board. We are facing the problem of Range in Urban area we get only 100 meter.Is there any way to increase the range of this module??

In Close area we are getting data of 30Nodes. But as distance increases say 30 meter per node we are not getting the data after 5 nodes. Our aim to connect 50 Nodes in series of 30 meter.

We are using NRFNetwork library.

Kindly suggest the way to increase the Range of NRF24l01+ LNA+PA board.so many nodes can connect via Mesh/Network topology.

    Hi,

    The range is increased using the ePA/LNA as you say. But it's not possible to extend the range any further than what can be achieved within regulatory limits. For Urban areas it can be hard to increase range as there can be many "hard" barriers such as concrete walls or metal tinted glass. Maybe adjusting the datarate to 250 kbit will give longer range, but it also means more on air time which increase the likelihood of the signal being blocked.
