FPV Long Range Telemetry Module That Reaches 50KM on Bluetooth

The FPV Long Range Telemetry Module Redefining What Bluetooth Can Do

For years, the FPV and drone builder community has been forced into a painful compromise: use cheap Bluetooth modules that die at 100 meters, or spend thousands on military-grade RF systems that were never designed for makers. The gap between those two worlds has been enormous — and largely ignored by the industry.

Until now.

The MultiNav Pro+ BLE Module from RFOXiA is the FPV long range telemetry module that finally closes that gap. With a verified range of up to 50KM between two modules, a 2Mbps data rate, FCC certification, and a price of just $59 for two units, it is — without exaggeration — the most capable Bluetooth module ever offered at a price accessible to individual builders.

This is not marketing copy. These are engineering specifications backed by real-world testing, FCC certification, and a growing community of drone pilots, robotics engineers, and IoT developers who have already deployed this hardware in the field.

Let's break down exactly what this module is, how it achieves these numbers, and why it matters to every serious FPV builder and drone developer working today.

Why Standard Bluetooth Modules Fail FPV Applications

Standard commodity BLE modules — the kind you find from Silicon Labs, Nordic Semiconductor, or generic Chinese suppliers — are designed for consumer electronics. They are optimized for smartwatches, wireless earbuds, and home automation devices that operate within 10 to 30 meters of a paired device.

When FPV pilots and drone builders try to use these modules for telemetry, they run into the same wall every time:

Range collapses past 100 meters. Ground reflections, interference, and low transmit power all compound to make reliable communication at even 300 meters nearly impossible with off-the-shelf BLE.
Data rates drop under load. Streaming GPS coordinates, flight controller data, and sensor readings simultaneously causes most consumer BLE modules to lag, drop packets, or disconnect entirely.
No ecosystem. A raw BLE module gives you a radio link and nothing else. Building a usable telemetry system around it requires months of firmware work, custom app development, and hardware integration.

The result is that most FPV builders have had to use purpose-built RC link systems like ExpressLRS, or proprietary telemetry radios that lock them into closed ecosystems with limited flexibility.

The MultiNav Pro+ BLE changes this equation entirely.

How the MultiNav Pro+ Achieves 50KM on Bluetooth

The range figures for the MultiNav Pro+ are not achieved by magic — they are achieved by engineering. RFOXiA has applied a combination of a powerful RF front-end, external amplifiers, and advanced receiver sensitivity optimization to the Bluetooth protocol in a way that commodity module manufacturers simply do not prioritize.

Here is how range works across different deployment scenarios:

Ground-to-ground (module paired with smartphone): 5KM. Two users on the ground, each with a MultiNav Pro+ paired to their phone via the RFOXiA Connect app.
Man-to-drone (module on phone, module on drone): 15–20KM. One module stays with the ground operator, one module flies on the aircraft. This is the primary FPV long range telemetry use case.
Drone-to-drone: 50KM. When both modules are airborne, ground reflections are eliminated and the full propagation advantage of elevated antennas is realized.

These numbers represent a 150x to 500x improvement over commodity Bluetooth modules — at a fraction of the cost of professional RF systems.

And critically, this is Bluetooth. Not a proprietary protocol. Not a custom RF stack that requires specialized receivers. Standard Bluetooth that pairs with your existing smartphone via the RFOXiA Connect app, without any additional ground station hardware.

Technical Specifications: What's Inside the Module

The MultiNav Pro+ BLE is built around the STM32WB07CCV6 — a dual-core processor from STMicroelectronics that manages both the BLE stack and user applications simultaneously. This separation of concerns means your telemetry link and your application logic never compete for processing resources.

Core specifications at a glance:

Range: Up to 50KM (drone-to-drone) / 15–20KM (man-to-drone) / 5KM (ground-to-ground)
Data rate: 2Mbps
Module size: 57mm × 47mm
Fixing frame size: 54mm × 34mm with corner mounting holes
Antenna length: 140mm integrated high-gain chip antenna
RTC crystal: Integrated for precise timing synchronization
Interfaces: GNSS, Sensors, Motors & Battery Management, Programming (SWD)
Certification: FCC certified
Price: $59 for 2 units

The physical footprint is small enough for tight FPV builds. The mounting hole pattern is consistent across the entire MultiNav Pro+ ecosystem, meaning your BLE module, GNSS module, and Sensors module all stack and mount with the same hardware.

2Mbps Data Rate: Why Speed Matters for Telemetry

Range gets the headlines, but data rate is what makes a telemetry module actually useful in FPV and drone applications.

A 2Mbps link means you can simultaneously stream:

Real-time GPS position data from your GNSS module
Full environmental sensor readings (temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality, IMU)
Flight controller telemetry
Control inputs from ground station
Video metadata and OSD data

All of this without compression, without prioritization that drops critical packets, and without the latency that makes manual control feel sluggish.

For FPV pilots specifically, latency in the control link is the difference between precise flying and a crash. The MultiNav Pro+ BLE's 2Mbps throughput ensures that your control commands reach the aircraft and your aircraft's telemetry reaches your ground station with minimal delay — even at the edge of the operating range.

The RFOXiA Connect App: Your Ground Station Is Already in Your Pocket

One of the most underappreciated aspects of choosing the MultiNav Pro+ as your FPV long range telemetry module is what comes with it at no additional cost: a fully functional ground station application for iOS and Android.

The RFOXiA Connect App provides:

PS5-style controller interface for drone and robot control directly from your smartphone
Live map view with real-time GPS position tracking of your aircraft
Live sensor data display showing all telemetry from connected modules
Automation center for setting up conditional behaviors and waypoint logic
Complete offline operation — no internet connection required, no subscription, no cloud dependency

This means your complete FPV telemetry ground station — the thing that used to require a dedicated laptop, custom software, and hours of configuration — is now your phone running a free app paired to a $30 module.

For field deployments, remote locations, and emergency response scenarios, the offline-first design is not a convenience feature. It is a mission-critical capability.

BLE Chat: Internet-Independent Mesh Communication

Beyond telemetry, the MultiNav Pro+ BLE supports something no other module at this price point offers: fully internet-independent direct communication between users.

The BLE Chat functionality allows multiple MultiNav Pro+ users to communicate — text, data, and voice — without any cellular network, WiFi, or internet infrastructure. Each module acts as a node in a mesh network, relaying communications across the full operating range of the link.

For FPV operations this means your ground team, chase vehicles, and spotter positions can all maintain communication across kilometers of terrain without relying on radio networks that may be congested, unavailable, or monitored. For search and rescue applications, disaster response, and remote expedition teams, this capability is transformative.

Ecosystem Integration: The MultiNav Pro+ Platform

The MultiNav Pro+ BLE module is not designed to work in isolation. It is the communications core of a complete modular hardware ecosystem that includes:

MultiNav Pro+ GNSS Module — 1.5-meter accuracy, 18Hz fix rate, optimized for fast-moving platforms like drones
MultiNav Pro+ Sensors Module — temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer (7 sensors in one board)
Power/Program Kit — supercapacitor-based power system, 5-minute charge for 24-hour runtime, integrated STLink programmer

All modules share the same physical form factor, the same connector ecosystem, and the same software stack. When you add a GNSS module to your build, it appears automatically in the RFOXiA Connect app map view. When you add the Sensors module, its data streams alongside your GPS position in the same dashboard.

This is what ecosystem integration actually means — not just compatible hardware, but a unified experience from hardware to firmware to application layer.

For developers building complex autonomous systems, the complete Developer Bundle ($199 after credits) includes all four modules in one package. It is the only product on the market combining long-range BLE telemetry, precision GNSS, multi-sensor environmental monitoring, and professional power management in a single integrated kit.

Open Source and Fully Programmable

Every MultiNav Pro+ BLE module ships with full open-source access and complete programmability via SWD (Serial Wire Debug). You are not locked into RFOXiA's firmware. You are not dependent on a cloud service for basic functionality. You own the hardware and you own the code.

For FPV builders and embedded developers who want to go deeper, the AI Firmware Builder integrated into the RFOXiA Club platform allows you to describe your application in plain language and receive complete, production-ready firmware with full source code. What used to take months of embedded development work can now be prototyped in hours.

This is a genuine competitive advantage for builders who want professional-grade hardware without the professional-grade firmware development budget.

Precise Timing with Integrated RTC

For telemetry applications where data synchronization matters — multi-node sensor networks, time-stamped flight logs, coordinated autonomous systems — the MultiNav Pro+ BLE includes an integrated RTC crystal for precise timing.

This is a detail that matters in professional deployments. When you are correlating telemetry data from multiple modules across a drone swarm, or time-stamping environmental data for research applications, clock accuracy is not optional. The integrated RTC ensures every data point carries a reliable timestamp without requiring external timekeeping hardware.

FCC Certification: Why It Matters for Builders

Every module in the MultiNav Pro+ lineup carries FCC certification — including the BLE module. This is not a minor administrative detail.

FCC certification means:

Legal operation across all US frequency bands at specified power levels
Distributor qualification — the primary credential required by DigiKey, Mouser, and professional electronics distributors
Integration confidence — you can build FCC-certified end products using a certified module without re-certifying the entire device under many conditions
Professional deployment — enterprise customers, research institutions, and commercial operators require certified hardware

For the FPV community specifically, operating uncertified RF hardware is a real liability. The MultiNav Pro+ BLE removes that concern entirely.

Who Should Be Using the MultiNav Pro+ BLE Module

This module is purpose-built for builders who need professional performance without professional budgets:

FPV pilots and drone builders who want a reliable, high-bandwidth telemetry link at ranges that commodity modules cannot touch — and who want their ground station to be their existing smartphone running a free app.

Robotics engineers building ground vehicles, autonomous platforms, or remote inspection systems that operate beyond the 100-meter wall that BLE modules have always imposed.

IoT developers deploying remote sensor networks where cellular coverage is unavailable, unreliable, or too expensive at scale.

Researchers who need GPS-verified environmental data from mobile platforms at high fix rates and long communication distances.

Field teams who need internet-independent communication and telemetry across challenging terrain.

If any of these describes your work, the MultiNav Pro+ BLE is the RFOXiA Long Range Bluetooth Module you have been waiting for.
