Bluetooth Communiciations

Air Cable Bluetooth

We have two air cable bluetooth radios that I have been using for the Rio Grande ADCP setup. I also have two external 8.5 dbi omni-directional antennaes to go with them. I have been using them on the kayak to send back GPS and ADCP data to a laptop w/ bluetooth on shore.

Sena Parani SD1000 Bluetooth

I have one parani sd1000 bluetooth radio that seems promising. I have a 5 dbi dipole antennae for use with this. I was going to use this as a spare, or to boost the laptop signal (instead of using the laptop class 2 bluetooth w/ only a 30 ft range).

Sena UD100 Bluetooth

This is a USB bluetooth. We can use this for laptops that don't have internal bluetooths (like the big toughbook) or we can use it as a boost for the mini tough book. It has a 5 dbi antennae. I tested this one with the streampro. The range was 150 meters at a minimum from the laptop to the streampro, I think it goes further but I didn't test it.
