New method under testing

the_icks · 08-02-10, 04:34 PM

I am going to use this at work... got a dongle for £5 from amazon!!

Nice heads up about the free stuff!!!

I wonder how good this would be for ppc!

Harvez · 08-02-10, 05:16 PM

this is my set up now with a bluetooth booster £90 which gives up to 500 meters range, test at school today during the kids break time and it went berserk so its a deffo improvement.

you can get great results with just a dongle but I have bigger plans which requires the extra umph.

FurbtasticM · 08-02-10, 05:53 PM

What sort of conversions is it producing, or too early to tell?

Harvez · 08-02-10, 05:56 PM

too early yet to tell i havent had to the time to sit anywhere long enough for a long session, few days off next week while the sprogs are off school so a visit to whiterose centre is on the books.

The thing is with bluetooth is that it is two way communication technologie if i am correct.

Lets say you pc has a bluetooth range of 100m, and your phone has a range of 10m and they are 80m away from each other.
The pc will be able to comunicate with the phone, however the the phone wont be able to communicate with the pc, therefore there will be no transfer of data.

So in Harvez case he can pick up phones 500m away but they wont be able to accept the connections if there bluetooth range isnt 500m also. Therefore the add will not be sent to the phone.

You don't need to worry about that as the netbook will only be sending not receiving, when you press accept on your phone it dose not send a message back to the netbook it simply accepts the signal

Snave · 08-02-10, 06:33 PM

Do the people not have to click accept or link or whatever like they would when you bluetooth from phone to phone?

I was under the illusion that when you press accept it then sends a signal back to the device to start the transfer. As if there is no data being sent from device to device how does it know when to start transfering the data and when to stop transfering then.

Harvez · 08-02-10, 06:49 PM

you can only send to phones within range, this is evident by the software telling you which phones are b/tooth enabled and their details re: the phones name or what ever people have changed the name to.

there is no two way connection other than when a mobile accepts the incoming message to tell the software to send. If someone then accepts but are walking away from you, the extra boost of signal from the box i have makes sure i have more chance of that message being delivered.

It tick all the boxes, small range, but just trying to attract passing trade at the moment... once I persuade management well probably get one sited on the moon!!
