What’s the range of INTELINK?
The effective, reliable range between INTELINK devices is anywhere from more than a kilometer down to less than a meter.
NANO (BLE), as the representative model of INTELINK technology, has been optimized to enjoy a communicating range of up to 1500 m with HUB (a professional gateway) in ideal environments, enabling HUB to monitor any NANO that comes into the range and quickly download the valuable migration data from NANO.
Models like MINI (LoRa) has been embedded with both INTELINK technology and LoRa transmission ability. With a matching HUB, the communicating range could be a stable 5000 m.
Models with network or satellite transmission ability such as LEGO 3G and MINI Argos have an INTELINK range of only 30 m ~ 100 m. For such models, the INTELINK function is mostly for App remote operations, lost device finding, ACC raw data downloading and ODBA tagging, etc.
Some earlier models might not support INTELINK. Please consult your sales personnel for more information. If you have Renewal Plan, you can upgrade them to the latest version with INTELINK.
Note: INTELINK range varies with environment, because the obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver can deteriorate the signal strength. The attenuators can be anything from humidity and precipitation, to walls, windows, and other obstacles made of glass, wood, metal, or concrete, including metal towers or panels that reflect and scatter radio waves. When you are using INTELINK devices, please read the manual first to bring out the most of INTELINK potential distance.
