Range Of ECPIN In Different Environments
Bluetooth technology transmits its signal through Radio Frequency (RF). It uses the same frequency band (2.4GHz) as WiFi and other RF technologies.
The reception performance is highly dependent on the mobile device and the working environment. Any blockage, such as a metal or concrete between ECPin and the mobile device, will reduce the signal strength significantly. Besides, ECPin will not work in microwave oven as RF signal is completely blocked by shielding.
Bluetooth range in closed environment
Up to 10Ft./3M
Two Ways To Extend Wireless Range
