[Asterisk-Users] Bluetooth with *

[Jon Radon]

That's useful for covering a larger area, but not really for
pinpointing a users location.  BTP is intended to be used with
multiple bluetooth sensors/adapters.  It determines where to send a
call by which sensor has a greater signal strength to your bluetooth
device.

My idea was maybe some USB to Cat5 extenders with USB bluetooth
adapters.  That way you don't need a dedicated machine at each point
to run BTP.

http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GUCE50 goes for about
$88 plus the cost of another BT adapter.

Just thought of something though, I believe BTP does not currently
have support for multiple BT adapters.  So it would probably have to
be extended to allow at least multiple instances bound to individual
adapters.
