MultiNav Pro+ BLE - reconnect behavior after link drop at long range?

Jessica ChanJuly 25, 2026
Hey everyone, been working with the MultiNav Pro+ BLE module for a few weeks now and overall pretty impressed with the range. Running a test setup across a clear line-of-sight path, roughly 30-35km right now, and the link holds up way better than I expected. But I've been running into something that's bugging me and wanted to see if anyone else has hit this.

@Jessica Chan yeah, 30-35km on a clear LOS path is solid — you're well within the drone-to-drone envelope so that tracks.
 
The reconnect behavior you're describing is something a few people have bumped into. The short version is that the default BLE connection parameters are tuned conservatively, so when the link drops at marginal range, the reconnect backoff can feel sluggish — the module isn't always being aggressive enough about re-advertising or re-scanning after a timeout.
 
The firmware repo is open source (github.com/RFOXiA/MultiNav-Pro-Long-Range-BLE-Module-Firmware-STM32WB07) so it's worth pulling that and looking at the connection interval and supervision timeout settings — those are the two knobs that tend to matter most for how fast recovery happens after a drop. If you want to share what reconnect latency you're seeing (rough seconds from drop to restore), that'd help narrow down whether it's a parameter tuning issue or something else going on at that range.

30-35km on BLE?? What module revision are you running because that seems way outside spec - just want to make sure we're talking about the same hardware before I chime in on the reconnect side of things.
