I own the USBBT100 adapter because I saw how impressive it's Class 1 range was, I think it was like 100 ft.  But snap!  A mile is possible.  I've been wanting to to use my broadband connection and somehow have my bluetooth adapter transfer it's connection to my t616 phone.  This way I could use WAP browser lightening fast and without charges.  Anyone know if it's possible.  Probably not, I'll just keep dreaming.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marcos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Antenna mod extends Bluetooth up to a mile]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</guid><description><![CDATA[My Goodness !

Google around and you might find it. I don't recall how it was done, though, as I wasn't really interested in duplicating it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cafn8]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Antenna mod extends Bluetooth up to a mile]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is like gining a loudspeker to one of two men standing 1 mile away from each other. the one with the speaker will be heared at the other side alright but what about the one without one?.

Otherwise, even though the signal from the dongle would be able to reach your device, it just isn't powerful enough to get, say http request to the dongle to request web pages. Just my 2 cents.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kenny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Antenna mod extends Bluetooth up to a mile]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</guid><description><![CDATA[Argh! Forget hacking into the USB BT adaptor - just use it "as is" but with a cheap cookware parabolic reflector! This approach has been magnificent for USB WiFi (see => http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz), & indeed gives greatly enhanced BT ranges too. Check the 300m (~1/4 mile)link between an Axim X5 + Socket CF BT & USB BT laptop down a NZ suburban street => http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/btscoop.jpg]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[manuka]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Antenna mod extends Bluetooth up to a mile]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wasn't impressed. Scoured the shops for the Linksys Bluetooth Class 1, bought the high gain 2.4Ghz antenna (which wasn't cheap!). Rigged it all up, then ran up the street with my phone. After 50 metres or so, my phone couldn't detect any devices. So how did they manage a mile???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Antenna mod extends Bluetooth up to a mile]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/21/antenna-mod-extends-bluetooth-up-to-a-mile/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wikipedia (Spanish) says:<br>"If a Class 1 device (100 meters) wants connect with a Class 2 device (20 meters [most of phones]); they must to be located at distance of Class 2 device..."<br><br>Connection is made always at distance of the lower range device.<br><br>But, Wikipedia (English) says:<br>"It has to be noted that in most cases the effective range of class 2 devices is extended if they connect to a class 1 transceiver, compared to pure class 2 network."<br><br>I'm confused, your comment makes me think that Wikipedia (Spanish) it's right.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Francisco]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 22nd 2007 10:55AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
