[Asterisk-Users] Mac Mini and chan_bluetooth, has anyone told The o if it works?

[Colin Anderson]

We have Bluetooth working up to a 75 foot radius from the base station
through standard drywall and plenums. Dunno if it is localized to those
specific devices, or whatever. I am specifically looking at this to issue a
single handset to our sales people who are in and out of our office, and go
to their remote offices, to create micro cell sites, all tied together with
IAX. It galls me that we have broadband coming out of our yinyang and yet we
still pay > 10K a month for cell bills, and I still see stupid salespeople
walking around in our office yipping on their cell phones. Pick up a
landline, you idiot! There's one not two feet away from your right hand!

In a perfect world, the user would roam from 1X/PCS to Asterisk (obviously
not transparently - the active call would get cut off, no?)

In any case, my assumption is that there will be no hand-off's, and it's
still compelling.

That is pretty cool, except I'm not able to get my head around the 
usefulness of BT's 3~30 foot range limitation. Every time I think of a 
great use for BT, I then think about the consequences of walking down 
the hall for a moment.
