Point-to-point range depends on weaker device's performance, so Neo 
limits bluetooth range. I say that 10 meters is in open space. Try to 
connect through walls...
It is very idea to put BT class 1 to Neo in future releases but of 
course it depends on costs and what will designers say on that.
This is a question to FIC: is it possible to mount BT class 1 in future?
