New antenna ups Bluetooth range to 30 Kilometers
Yeah, you read that right. The newly announced AIRcable Host XR Bluetooth USB Adapter extends your average 3 meter Bluetooth range to just over 30 Kilometers. How far is that is America, you might ask? Roughly 19 miles. Whoa. Before you all get too excited, you should know that some level of "professional installation" is required to achieve the increased length. Without the pro-level tweaking you’ll get 2 kilometers out of the box, which is still pretty impressive. Bluetooth range has been pushed to these lengths before, but the $129 price point of this particular box makes it one of the first to be in range of the average consumer. Let the games begin!
Sweet now I can make a call or send files from really really far away.
Impressive, but why would anyone want to extend BT this far? The only thing that could answer back would be another one of these.
Is this antenna point to point? or point to multipoint? Is any software available to scan 30km area and detect how many phone with bluetooth are in this zone and then send a file at the same time to all detected phones?
