What is the 'real' reach of a Bluetooth zone?

If you couple a Class 1 device with a Class 2 device, you can effectively increase the range of the Class 2 device from 10m to up to a maximum of 30 metres for most phones. You CANNOT reach any further than this as the Radio Frequency power output from a phone is simply too low to be able to communicate back to a Bluetooth Marketing device. Bluetooth Marketing is a two-way conversation as the sending device needs acknowledgment from the users phone for permission to send or decline.

    Hi Nicolas, so in effect you would only be able to send stuff to phones only while still within a 30 metre radius of the access point? Reason for asking is that Huetouch claims "deliver in a 100 metre Bluetooth zone.

    Previous marketing would have said 100ft however with the new AX range we can achieve 100m range :-)
