BLE mesh Long range

[Tien_Nguyen]

I need support on Long range in Bluetooth Mesh network. I am coding on VS-Code, toolchain nRF Connect SDK v2.0.0. Zephyz OS v3.0.99, nrf52833 SOC, 8dbm in Kconfig (TX power).
I learned about reducing from 1Mbit (RADIO_MODE_BLE_1MBIT) to MODE_125KBIT can increase the operating distance but do not know how to configure.
My current operating distance tested with no obstacles in between is 10-14m, I expect to achieve 20-30m with no obstructions if Mesh long range is configured.
Hope to receive support from everyone, thanks.

Hi,

Bluetooth mesh is based on Bluetooth 4, so it does not have support for long range.

Kind regards,
Andreas

As I see in the documentation of ntf52833 there is bluetooth version 5.3, but mesh is not mentioned which version. If the documentation doesn't mention it, it should be understood that the mesh will default to bluetooth 4.0? please reply

Hi,

Bluetooth Low Energy v5.3 and Bluetooth Mesh are two different protocols. Our infocenter pages about Bluetooth Mesh gives some more information about the Mesh spec and how its related to Bluetooth LE.

Kind regards,
Andreas
