What is range and power of Bluetooth devices?
Bluetooth
| Developed by | Bluetooth Special Interest Group |
|---|---|
| Industry | Personal area networks |
| Compatible hardware | Personal computers Smartphones Gaming consoles Audio devices |
| Physical range | Typically less than 10 m (33 ft), up to 100 m (330 ft). Bluetooth 5.0: 40–400 m (100–1,000 ft) More than a kilometer, Less than a meter |
What is the range of a Bluetooth signal?
approximately 30 feet
The range of the Bluetooth® connection is approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, maximum communication range will vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.
What is a good signal strength for Bluetooth?
If the value reported is from 0 to minus 60 its a good signal strength. Any value that is minus 70 or less is bad, with a signal strength of -90 or more being very bad.
What is the minimum and maximum range of Bluetooth?
The Bluetooth specification stipulates a minimum range of 33 feet, but the maximum range is determined only by the output power of the device.
What is the range of a Bluetooth device?
Bluetooth device class: Bluetooth devices are divided into classes. Presently there are 4 classes of Bluetooth devices, differing in their power consumption and range. A Class 1 device works at 100 milliwatts and has a range of 100 meters.
What is the minimum output power for Bluetooth?
Output power of 100mW ( 20 dBm) to achieve maximum range. Minimum power is 1mW. Power control is mandatory to have in this bluetooth power class. Min. output power 0.25mW (-6dBm), Power control is optional in this bluetooth power class. Lowest output power is possible with this power class, nominal is 1mW.
How does the transmit power affect the range of Bluetooth?
The higher the transmit power, the more likely the signal can be heard at longer distances, and the longer the effective range. However, increasing the transmit power increases the power consumption of your device. Bluetooth ® technology supports transmit powers from -20 dBm (0.01 mW) to +20 dBm (100 mW).
What’s the range of a Class 1 Bluetooth transmitter?
A Class 1 device works at 100 milliwatts and has a range of 100 meters. A Class 2 device, whose use is much more widespread, has a range of 10 meters and operates at 2.5 milliwatts power. The Miccus 160-foot long range Bluetooth transmitter is a Class 1 device, which explains its extended range.
