Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do. |
Is there a BT transmitter would cover about 5 acres? It would be connected to TV to play the music channels, radio, or to the Ipod. Thinking of maybe mounting on the roof of the pole barn. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | ||

Bluetooth is a specific very low-power wireless protocol. Typical Bluetooth devices have a maximum range of MAYBE 30 feet. There are even lower-power connection protocols included in the Bluetooth spec that have even shorter ranges. The newest Bluetooth version, Bluetooth 5, supports a higher-power, longer-range connection up to a few hundred feet, but there aren't many devices that use Bluetooth 5 yet and it still probably wouldn't cover 5 acres well. A radio-based device could certainly be built that would work over a 5 acre lot, and I'm sure there are some out there. You could also probably do something with streaming over WiFi. I bet a good outdoor access point mounted on top of a building would cover a 5 acre lot. Of course, at that point, you might as well just stream music on a smartphone over the WiFi. For that matter, you could just download music to a smartphone and play it without any connection at all. | |||

Its very nature limits it Op range. I wouldn’t use it but There are BT extenders, Cassia Hub is one that comes to mind. You can start your research there.This message has been edited.

BT is incapable of that. Wrong protocol for the job. For 5 acres look to 900mhz or similar. | |||
