BLE range for CC2540 keyfob in the indoor(including walls)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi,

I'm going to use CC2540 "Keyfob" in the office building (two floor and each floor is 1500m2) and I want to know:

1- CC2540 keyfob indoor range

2- Does BLE stack support repeater operation? I mean, if I use a CC2540 Keyfob as a repeater (to achieve longer range), BLE stack support it or no?

thanks

  • 1- There is no simple answer to this question, as the range in an indoor environment is very sensitive to effects such as multipaths, which can very from one environment to another. If using 0dBm transmit power, you should definitely be able to get 10-20m, probably more.

    2- No, repeater operation is not supported by the stack.
