Usability that speaks for itself

Bluetooth Device Class

There are 3 classes of Bluetooth device defined to suit different needs:

Class 1 - Long Range

Maximum Output Power of 100mW (20dBm)

Class 2 - Medium Range

Maximum Output Power of 2.5mW (4dBm) most common

Class 3 - Short Range

Maximum Output Power of 1mW (0dBm) very rare

A value of distance cannot be explicitly stated for each device class; every user environment is slightly different, and affects the signal in different ways. The best way to compare devices operating range is by comparing Output Power. A device with a larger output power will be able to communicate with other devices over a further distance. Most Brainboxes devices are class 1 devices with a very powerful Power Output, Brainboxes Bluetooth Class 1 devices have one of the most powerful Bluetooth radios in the industry - 14dBm!
