[Asterisk-Users] bluetooth audio and asterisk
Has anyone successfully used a standard bluetooth enabled system to connect to a standard bluetooth enabled mobile phone (not the bluetooth to FXS converters) to create an audio path for phone calls with asterisk, if so is there a writeup on what was done so that others can replicate this. What I am thinking is that via alsa/oss/whatever you should be able to use the bluetooth audio channel as a speaker and microphone to talk to a mobile. The catch is of course sending dialing information via bluetooth from within asterisk to cause this to properly occur. SMS could also be sent/received via bluetooth and converted to SIP IM for example thus giving more devices accessability to asterisk 'out of the box'. And given cost, many bluetooth dongles can be purchased for $30 USD or less, this would create a lower entry price for people to use this technology. Cellsocket.com for example is a phone->FXS adapter, they are $100. Someone this last week mentioned a bluetooth system that is similar, but afaik both devices do not allow for SMS to be trafficed via asterisk, and both cost more than a bluetooth dongle. I know that linux does support bluetooth via qualcomms BT API, and I would imagine that other systems also support this.

Do a search on voip-info, Also there is an Australian company that build Bluetooth base stations that connect to a pabx (quasi dect cell based system) but big bucks (though does prove it is technically feasible.

I want to buy an bluetooth capable mobile phone without a dongle. I want asterisk to predict it's a headset, so it can route audio. This way, I could accept calls from mobile network for very cheap. And also do the opossite route (call to cell-phone network). Check this: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+Bluetooth+channels If you'll have any progress in this area, please let me know. It should also be able to send SMS, I have previously done this successfully, but without Asterisk using smstools. For sending sms, using a web gateway would be probably cheaper, but it should be good for receiving. Juraj.
This is what you want: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+bounty+bluetooth+cell-phone+suppo rt Add money to the bounty -- maybe someone will pickup/continue what was started and abandoned. I think it's worth serious money. I know it is to me. Nice side-effect, for anyone interested -- in the US, all GSM phones are *required* to provide emergency dialing services. Wouldn't take much to keep a spare/used BT phone on hand to provide 911 calling even without a SIM card.> -----Original Message----- > From: trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com > [mailto:trixter@0xdecafbad.com] > Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 7:55 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] bluetooth audio and asterisk > > > Has anyone successfully used a standard bluetooth enabled > system to connect to a standard bluetooth enabled mobile > phone (not the bluetooth to FXS converters) to create an > audio path for phone calls with asterisk, if so is there a > writeup on what was done so that others can replicate this. > > What I am thinking is that via alsa/oss/whatever you should > be able to use the bluetooth audio channel as a speaker and > microphone to talk to a mobile.
