@sauravgoswami • 18 Feb, 2009 but why you need it to do?? bluetooth is the best technology available for transferring data?

@Ashraf HZ • 18 Feb, 2009 Well, the hardware and protocol is very different 😛 Its not impossible, but it is very hard to do, and there is no point in doing so unless you can mention some applications.

No. i want to get file from Wifi signal and give bluetooth user's. (ex. From third floor sending some file to ground floor for receiving, But in ground floor only one wifi device is there . but users is so many people. i want send to all. so i want this technology conversion )

😔

@Ashraf HZ • 18 Feb, 2009 Ah... in that case, you can have a computer or laptop that has both bluetooth and WiFi hardware. This computer can act as the intermediary between them. Conversion would have to be done at the Top layer I suppose (software).

I havent done that before, but what you can try to do is set one port for the bluetooth and the other for the WiFi, then "bridge" them together.

There are probably existing specialized hardware for this, but they would be expensive.

@sauravgoswami • 18 Feb, 2009 thats a good idea,ash,but how much data is to be transferred?? and what will happen when multiple users will try to download,wont it effect the speed of data transfer!!!

Thank u 😁

@e&cengineer225 • 21 Feb, 2009 ITS VERY TOUGH TASK TO DO BECAUSE THE BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY IS USED FRO SHORT RANGE APPLICATION AND Wi-Fi IS THE SYSTEM WHICH CAN TRANSMIT THE DATA TO A LONG RANGES COMPARABLE TO BLUETOOTH

@abhinaykumar • 07 Jun, 2010 bluetooth and wifi are both different platforms and it is difficult to keep a bridge between the both platforms......

@Swathy • 08 Jun, 2010 As far as i heard, mobile-tech-today.com once reported that Bluetooth is capable of achieving higher speeds by integrating Wi-Fi to transfer larger files. It wrote: “The association’s two-pronged design neatly addresses the issue of backward compatibility by taking a classic Bluetooth connection ‘and allowing it to jump on top of the already present 802.11 radio, when necessary, to send bulky entertainment data faster’.” Then, when the Wi-Fi radio is no longer needed, it returns to normal operation to save battery life. This will work even when a Wi-Fi signal is not present.

Hi!

i want to convert bluetooth signal to WiFi signal or some other technology. Is it possible ? 😔 If it is possible means how can i done this ? any body can help me 😔 😔[/QUOTE

@Mr.RAUSHAN KUMAR • 25 Jun, 2015 No convert but depend system and software ..but working purpose can easily convert add for computer and bluetooth connect pc
