I have a feeling that 10m might be a little optimistic once you add your average person’s gadgets into the atmospheric mix. I’d also be curious to see how it performs in the real world outside of a lab. Mostly these were due to the Faraday cage type effect mentioned above. EyeFi almost always worked perfectly for me, but problems plagued many. It will be interesting to see the reaction to this once it becomes available. No word yet on pricing, availability or even an official announcement date, although Canon Rumors are reporting that it is expected to cost around $40USD. If you’re shooting out on location and want to tether to a device further away, you can still always use the USB router to extend your signal. So, the 10m estimated range seems like that have at least partially figured out the problem. CF card is required when using the Wi-Fi function.Not surprisingly, bodies with built in Wi-Fi and lower end bodies with only a single SD card slot are not listed. It will only work in a dual slot camera, and you still need a CF card in your main slot in order to use this. It has no capacity and only offers Wi-Fi functionality. One big difference between this and the EyeFi is that this is not a storage device.
Hopefully, Canon have solved this issue and you can get good working distance between yourself and the receiving device. But, it still shouldn’t have been necessary. As long as it’s within a couple of feet of my camera, the range extends a couple of hundred yards. I ended up having to buy a small USB router ( new, faster version) and battery that stayed in my pocket. Shooting on a D300s body, I would get 6ft on good day in direct mode between myself and an iPad. This severely limits the range of the cards. The metal shell basically acts like a Faraday cage. However, my biggest problem with EyeFi in higher end bodies was the range.

To set up, use the card and to troubleshoot any image transfer problems, refer to the Eye-Fi card's instruction manual or inquire the card's manufacturer. The image transfer is a function of the Eye-Fi card. With a commercially-available Eye-Fi card already set up, you can automatically transfer captured images to a personal computer or upload them to an online service via a wireless LAN.
