Big disclaimer: it totally depends.

But, if you place two mica2's on the ground in short grass, you might
get a couple meters range.  If one mica2 is placed on the ground and
you hold the other one above the ground, say a meter, you could get
10-20 meters range.  If they're both off the ground, say by a meter,
then you might get 30 meters or so.  These are the approximate numbers
I remember from a couple of years ago when I tried this experiment. Again, it totally depends on your situation, antenna orientation,
grass height, ground moisture, and so on.

Hi All,

Can anyone give me a rough idea as to the maximum transmission range of
a mica2 mote?  I know that this would be influenced by many factors
(e.g., interference), but if I were to place some motes in the middle of
an open field, approx. how far would they be able to transmit?

Thanks,

Brett P
