I read the reviews and see these have excellent range. Please tell me if you think it would work through multiple floors like on a large cruise ship

I haven't really tried trough multiple floors. I know they work though house walls. I've had them at several of my neighbors and still talked to my house.

Think they would work. I used radios that aren't as good as these are when I was a stevedore working in Egypt, now with that said, this wasn't a pleasure cruse ship, so It didn't have all the bells and whistles like a cruse ship does that might interfere with the signal.

Yes....you should have no problem at all. Like any other radio if you're in a hotel room or deep in an office building this would hamper reception.

Would this work ok to transmit about 100 ft from one building to the next. If not, could an almond securifi be used to range extend it well enough?

They will not work in the skin of the ship as there's too much interference. They do work outside as they are line of sight walkie talkies.

Yes, that might beyond the edge of possible, actually, due to Z-Wave's typical range being about 300 ft, and this particular device's manufacturer's stated range of "Up to 100 feet line of sight between the Wireless Controller and /or the closest Evolve ReceiverModule"So unless you have a power post every 100 ft between controller and the boat house (where you can install a light or outlet module to function as a repeater), I would not expect this to function particularly well. Z-Wave's 900MHz radio wave and bodies of water don't always behave predictably either. due to some signal dissipation, absorption and reflection... At any rate: I would only give this about a 20-25% chance of functioning without a repearter.

I got 2 pairs and they work together very well. I just got back from a cruise ship and it worked fine but not perfectly. It is a challenge to find one that will work everywhere in all decks.In my case I left it with my kids when they were with the monitors so they could ask us to be pocked-up if they got bored. Sometimes When I was too much inside the structure (with lots of steel in between us) I would hear them calling but would not understand what they were saying. As I knew where they were I would just call the extension.This is perfect for kids because being small it fits their pockets. Other models are all too big and they refuse to carry or firget it everywhere they go. I got 2 pairs and they work together very well.

I purchased for my micro digital recorder for meetings and seminars . They perform very well so far and they pickup everything said clearly in a large room. I see no reason they would not work. For the money I would chance it.I am still using the same one that I started with and have about 90-100 hours of use so far. I was surprised with sound from them. I don't know how they would perform outdoors. They com with wind screens on them.

I've never tested out the range on it when I measured distances. I use it to turn my pool pump off and on when I'm vacuuming the pool. I know it'll work through an aluminum deck and across the pool (28'). I'd guesstimate that it's range is at least twice that, maybe more. It's a radio based transmitter, so it should work through walls, etc. I have my outside sockets on inside switches but if you're thinking of using this for holiday decorations I'd say it's worth a shot. Good luck!

I have not yet checked the total amount of range but they work through windows and walls. They save a person of having to bend down and plug in lights and from going outside in the cold and unplugging or plugging in the christmas lights. I also use one at my computer to turn off the modem at the end of the day. they claim a range of 80 feet. Wow! I just checked mine out in the back yard and they will work over 100 feet, also they will work even through a brick wall. Hope this helps.

Our units worked thru walls and well as ceiling/floor for upstairs/downstairs location.Many factors influence the range; such as battery strength, density of obstruction, distance between the transmitter and receiver so your effective range will likely depend on your circumstances. We find our units worked well for my dad to locate his cane every time in our home.

Hi Melissa its exactly like the others have said. I use this on a ship as a reapeater and have had a very good experience with it. When the ship goes to other ports all i do is connect to it and change where i am getting the signal from takes about 10 minutes and i have internet again. It has a very strong signal and will transmit though steel at least enoufh for me to use it.

They can handle a large number of connections. I have used them in an office setting with about 60 employees. I would suggest you use the UAP-PRO as they are concurrent dual band.

At just 30 feet you would get a strong signal, yes. Not sure you need a unit with this range capability for just 30 feet and nothing blocking, maybe something cheaper would do as well. Suggest to look at the other Hawking indoor repeater units, as they would likley do the job.

They drop out and have a lot of static....would not recommend....to use through to many walls or doors.... i would not place more than 40 feet away from transponster....Distance is not a strong suit....

Loving the technical debates here, they are proper for folks with such great technical interests. That being said, we are considering buying these to use on a cruise in the Caribbean. Obviously, FCC regulations don't apply outside the U.S. and local island regulations apply based on territorial waters, I suppose. Any comments on maritime regulations? What about practical usage ship-board, both from a signal quality standpoint and an unintentional interference with ship operations standpoint? Thanks!

They worked really well in open space. I would bet that the many walls of a ship would make reception spotty.

Yes! I use these for my set up. Mine are transmitting to about fifty feet and through several walls. The picture and sound are great. I highly recomend this product.
