From a quick search the BLE specification says it can be greater than 1km. But it has to be a Device that supports the newest Long Range Modes.

Older devices it can be about 100m.

In practice it's usually at or more commonly under 100m. Since we're at the mercy of what Axon has graciously provided for us, were unlikely to get BLE long range (coded PHY) type packets out of these devices, they probably have no use case for supporting the extension.
