Hi,

Bluetooth works with radio signals in the 2.4 GHz band.
The distance you get is very much dependent on local circumstances.
In ideal situations we can reach over 300 meters with BT class 2 (10 mW),
but in practical situations it is between 3 and 15 meters.

Radio can not be limited to a certain distance. The max. output power is
limited, but that doesn't say a lot about distance...
