medium range
Neither far nor near
Medium range describes a distance or scope that falls between short and long—neither immediately at hand nor far away.
In military contexts, medium-range missiles or weapons occupy the middle ground between tactical short-range systems and strategic long-range ones.
The term applies similarly to wireless signals, forecasts, or any measurement where the middle category matters: a medium-range weather forecast, medium-range Bluetooth connectivity.
