Are there BT antennas for long range? Like, can I make a Yagi style antenna out of a Pringles can and some all thread like we used to do for WiFi?


No but there are bluetooth gateways that allow local bluetooth LE connections on one side and wifi / cell on the other. Cassia makes some great ones.

I can see somebody setting up a Cassia in a car park and performing all sorts of bluetooth LE shenanigans remotely.


Bluetooth uses the same 2.4GHz as WiFi
