What is the range of Bluetooth?

Nowadays, you can pair many devices with your smartphone via a Bluetooth connection. This makes it possible, for example, to play your music through your speakers at any time. Even though Bluetooth works completely wirelessly, there is a certain range that you have to adhere to. Otherwise, the reception breaks.

This is the maximum range you have with a Bluetooth connection

Bluetooth is an industry standard for transferring files between two devices. For this, both devices must be equipped with a corresponding chip and support the function. Even though the connection via Bluetooth usually works quickly and easily, you only have a short range available. This depends on the supported Bluetooth class.

1. Bluetooth can be divided into a total of three classes, which offer a different range.
2. If your devices support class 1, then you recognize your devices at a distance of up to 100 meters. With class 2, it is still up to 50 m and class 3 still 10 m.
3. Note that the range may vary depending on where you are. Inside your home, walls and other obstacles can reduce the range.
4. Most smartphones have Bluetooth class 3, otherwise the connection would be too susceptible to interference - especially if many smartphones are within the radius and also have Bluetooth enabled. In addition, you will find too many devices at a very high range, which further reduces the security of the connection.
