BLE 5.0 module for distance up to 240m in free air

Hello All,

My customer is evaluating BLE 5.0 technology for automated door gates.

It seems that Bluetooth 5.0 can communicate over distances of up to 240 meters, i.e. four times larger than the 60 meters allowed by Bluetooth 4.2. Customer would like to verify that these performances in free air medium are real and not theoretical.

For this reason customer would be interested in evaluating a module that respects these characteristics.

I am therefore ask you to please direct me towards the right technical documentations and any Demo Board for a field test.

Low cost is a key parameter to use it on large volume applications higher than 250ku/yr.

Any recommendations? CC2640R2F? CC2642R? Or any other module may be developed by TP?

Many Thanks,

Antonio
