This unit has exactly the same features
and software as the portable version except one major
difference, it has an extension antenna.
By having an external antenna it
dramatically
increases the range of the unit. Many companies
offer misleading information on the true range of a Bluetooth
marketing device.

Let me explain to you about Bluetooth and
its range, there are 2 classes of Bluetooth, class 1 and class
2. Class 1 has a range of 100m and class 2 has a range
of 10m. A
mobile phone is a class 2 and an Ad-pod is class
1. So the phone has a short range but the
pod a much larger range. Now even though the ad-pod can send a
message 100m the phone cannot accept the message from that
distance.
The only way of changing this is by
having a very sensitive antenna on the
Ad-pod. The antenna enables the unit to
pick up the very faint signal from the phone over a much greater
distance.
Without the
external antenna you are limited to a maximum of
30m with an Ad-pod inbuilt antenna.
This unit with its exterior antenna can dramatically increase the
range to 50 – 60m depending on clear line of site and atmospheric
conditions.
So in practical terms you could possibly cover 100m in the high
street with your promotion (50m in either direction).

In assessing which pod suits your needs
the best you have to decide how far you need your signal to
broadcast, if you feel you
require more than 20-30m then this is the perfect package for
you.
