rf - How to know (or estimate) the range of a transceiver?


I'm trying to decide between different wireless transceivers, where my main requirement is furthest range for a given frequency band.


Is there a way to relate the frequency, data rate, power output, current received/transmitted, etc into a decent estimate for the range these transceivers can work at? I'm new to RF electronics clearly.


For reference, I'm looking at parts like the following:

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
