What are the minimum and maximum ranges for the Bolt?

Minimum

The Bolt transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) should be separated by at least 10 to 15 feet / 3 to 4.5 meters, with clear line of site between them.

Using the TX and RX at shorter distances may cause interference between the devices.

Maximum

The Bolt TX and RX can attain up to the following maximum distance (dependent on environmental conditions and other sources of interference).

1st generation

Bolt Standard / Bolt Pro : up to 300 feet / 91.4 meters

Bolt Pro 2000 : up to 2000 feet / 609.6 meters

2nd generation

Bolt Pro 300 : up to 300 feet / 91.4 meters

Bolt Pro 600 : up to 600 feet / 182.9 meters

Bolt Pro 2000 : up to 2000 feet / 609.6 meters

3rd generation

Bolt 500 : up to 500 feet / 152.4 meters

Bolt 1000 : up to 1000 feet / 304.8 meters

Bolt 3000 : up to 3000 feet / 914.4 meters

NOTE: the use of external / directional antennas cannot increase the range on the Bolt -- they are always limited to the maximum distance of the model. This limitation is built into the wireless chipset by the wireless module manufacturer, and is outside of Teradek's control.
