# What is the signal distance of a PIXIE Bluetooth device?

It is a maximum of 15 metres in clear view of each device, subject to the installation construction material (eg: concrete); which can be corrected through the use of the [SAL PIXIE USB signal booster (SGBBT).](https://pixiepartners.com.au/product/sal-pixie-signal-booster-sgbbt/)

For projects using all Gen3 products we recommend the use of the PIXIE PC100T-R-BTAS as the preferred Bluetooth Mesh Booster instead.

[**⇒ Read the Support Article for the Recommended Gen3 Booster here**](https://pixiepartners.com.au/support-docs/how-to-setup-and-use-the-pixie-translator-pc100t-r-btas/)

 

The SGB/BT USB boosters can be connected to any USB outlet with at least 5vDC such as phone chargers, back of TV's, modems/routers, game consoles etc.

**USB Bluetooth Signal Booster Installation in the Ceiling Space (For Electricians)**

1. 1. On a permanent active install a plug base
2. 2. Into that plug base connect a phone charger with at least 5v DC output
3. 3. Connect the USB charger to that phone charger via the USB port.
4. 4. Mount this plug base near a downlight hole so you can access it easily later
5. 5. Mark these locations on your as-built plans for future servicing.

Many devices in the PIXIE range that have a neutral connection also incorporate an internal Bluetooth Signal Booster.
