What is the distance that a Bluetooth chip can transmit?

Hi

Say I am going to use the Taiyo Yuden bluetooth SPP (EYMF2CAMM-XX ), can someone please tell me the range (in meters) for direct line of sight connection?

All the best

Did you read the datasheet?

Hi Mark

I have looked at the data sheet but it does not tell me the range in feet (or meters) of the system.

I was wondering if Bluetooth has a range, or does it depend on the chips usd?

Thank you

Hi,

Why don't you ask the manufacturers ?? , you could also tell them to provide this information on the datasheet.

thanks

A Class 1 BT device has a range about 100 meters, Class 2 bluetooth's range is about 10 meters.

Hi Libor

I am new to this- the Class 1BT you refer to- what protocol does it use? and can you recommend some chip sets that I can use to transmit over 100m of open field? (Direct line of sight)

Thank you

Hi Kender

Thank you for the web pages- I am beginning to understand.

I will definately go with the module.

Just for clarification:
If I want to transmit over say 100meter and I want to use for e.g. the BlueStamp on http://www.blueradios.com/hardware.htm
will I need TWO modules? (One as a receiver and one as a transmitter?)

Once again thank you
Regards
