W3V bluetoth adapter

Hi,

Does anybody know if W3V has built in bluetooth adapter class 1 or class 2. In other words, should I expect connection range of 10m or 100m. Currently I use motorola bluetooth headset HS805 and get very short range. I'm wonderring if that is my headset and I need another one or that is built in bluetooth adapter.

Thanks.

 

1 - bluetooth is supposed to be considered a "personal network". 10' is still one heck of a distance.

 

Thanks. Mybe 10' is enough but in my case I hardly can get 5 meters. Mybe it is just specail condition of my place.

 

Not 10 feet - 10 meters...... that's like 30 some feet. That's unobstructed... you'll cut the length down with everything you go through (walls, etc.). That's the MAXIMUM distance. It depends on what you're using. Remember, bluetooth is a connection to connection type of thing - you don't have a base station with an amplified signal, so your distance is really only as good as the lesser amplified of the two devices.

With the headset idea you have - they're generally less powerfull than say a computer to computer connection. Bluetooth again is dubbed as a "personal network" ... this is supposed to mean... cell phone in your pocket, headset on your ear, pocket pc in your hand, gps sitting in your car...... etc..... basically supposed to eliminate wires between those devices on you. Yes you can get pretty far away from certain things and still have a good connection, but it's not ideal and not what bluetooth is really meant for. I often leave my cell on my desk and travel with my headset into another room. I can easily get 30 feet between my cell and my headset.... but that's all BT1.1
