Interesting and sounds reasonable. I wonder if Bluetooth 5 will help in this regard.

I guess it could be possible. But the thing about range is that is most often reported under ideal conditions. Meaning clear line of sight between antennas and little to no other transmissions in that frequency range.

And likely your best results will be if both devices are v5 devices.
