Class 1 Bluetooth
- Formal
-
Class 1 Bluetooth offers a greater wireless data transfer distance (over 100m, up to 1km) through using greater power consumption (100mW). Primarily for industrial use cases, as it has a very long range.
- Practical
-
Primarily for industrial use cases, as it has a very long range. Connecting two Class 1 devices with both high sensitivity and high power can allow ranges far in excess of the typical 100m, depending on the throughput required by the application. Some such devices allow open field ranges of up to 1 km and beyond between two similar devices without exceeding legal emission limits.
