I'm a little doubtful about these distance claims. No matter how much power you put into a radio it only improves its transmission, not reception. I don't think most phones/laptops really output that much wattage and I don't really think the antennae on this can really be THAT sensitive to compensate.
There are 2 classes for BT equipment, and obviously this assumes you might use a 100 Meter version on your laptop too. Mind you I found that an USB BT dongle rated for 100 meter actually connects to a lot of phones in my area, that are more than 10 meter away, through walls, phones that are rated for 10 meter.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
