Configure radio bit rate

[kaushalyasat]

Hi,

I have seen that by reducing over-the-air bit rate, we can increase the range!! 

1. Is this claim aacurate in the case of OpenThread networks?

2. If so, how can I reduce the over-the-air bit rate in my application?

Cheers,

Hi,

You cannot change the bit rate for the 802.15.4 radio, so you cannot change this for OpenThread. According to the IEEE 802.15.4 specification, the 2,4 MHz PHY (physical layer) supports only an over-the-air data rate of 250 kbs.

Best regards,

Marte
