LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Long Range Advertising using Bluetooth 5

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2640R2F,

Hello,

I am using CC2640R2F Launchpad, with simplelink_cc2640r2_sdk_1_35_00_33 stack.

I programmed the launchpad using longrange_peripheral project available on github.

I am not able to get long range; when i try scanning the device using BLE Scanner (Android App). 

how to get CC2640R2F launchpad to advertise for long range ?

Thanks and Regards

Gourang

    I think you should use two LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2 to test long range mode, one running longrange_central and another running longrange_peripheral

    If I use two CC2640R2F Launchpads, then how to achieve long range before BLE connection happens. ?

    I require the peripheral device to advertise for long range before BLE connection is established.

    As i observed in TI video a range of 1.6km was demonstrated after BLE link was established.

    Is it possible to achieve same range if devices are not connected ?

    Say Central and Peripheral devices are 1.6km apart, will the two CC2640R2F devices connect ?

    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Gourang,

    The long-range examples on GitHub will not work with any mobile devices as none of these are supporting long range mode (yet). Also, as long-range mode is not supported in the SDK yet, the limited features we are only for test and evaluation, you will not get full functionality as of now.

    In a future SDK release, advertising with long range packets and establishing a connection at long distances will be supported.

    Cheers,
    Fredrik
