    I can answer a couple of those questions. It will go through up to seven devices and with Bluetooth maximum range of 300 meters you can get 6,800 feet or around 1.2 miles at maximum.

    Mind you, that would be with everything perfectly done, so it most likely won’t be that far.

      So the other person would need to be in the same venue as you, or possibly the next building over?

      There’s a very narrow use case for this, from what I can tell.

        Yes, places where this would work well would be street protests, concert venues, sports stadiums, etc. Could also be useful for conferences to send people in the same room links or something.

        Edit: short range comms during net shutdowns like iran recently
