How was the 800 m range measured, and what range can I expect in real-world conditions?

< 1 min read

The 800 m (2,625 ft) figure was measured in an open area—such as open land or over water—with no obstructions or interference. In real-world use:

Light obstructions: In a facility with shelving or standard partitions, the effective range is generally 300–500
m (984–1,640 ft).
Multiple floors or concrete walls: Each thick wall will reduce the range. Plan on approximately 150–300 m
(492–984 ft) of remaining coverage.
Complex RF environments: Coverage may be shorter in areas with dense metal structures. A simple walk test
at the site is recommended.
These figures are for reference only. Actual performance depends on the operating environment.
