"VOBI has a brand new bag"

Today went well, I wasn't given a reason to become agitated with train delays and I even had time to do some typing in regards to the VOBI project of which has had a new meaning added. VOBI (Voice-Over Bluetooth Inter-link) which i'm sure you will all agree, is a more appropriate meaning to the cause.


Here is my latest journal on the project: ***********************************

VOBI, will primarily be a project based upon the active fundamentals of a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) service. The difference being that it connects devices through a Bluetooth operation network (THE PROCESS INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT CAN ALSO BE IMPLEMENTED/ APPLIED TO WIFI), to wit, a free phone service, just like Viber or Skype with a basic user account. I understand the fundamentals roughly, although I will need to research and dabble with electronics books for a little while.

I want to build a super-antenna because this will act as the signal extension/ gain for devices to connect from distant locations. Most DIY hacks of similar technologies use a generic television aerial. I’m going to use a standard, pre- millennium sky service satellite dish. Unorthodox to say the least but, it will give me the most optimum performance one could ask for.

To render this particular form of aerial system, I will use a standard Bluetooth universal serial bus dongle and “hack it”. The way this will happen is as follows;

·         I will purchase a standard aerial antenna based Bluetooth dongle

·         I will then open the dongle, which will show me the naked components

·         I will then remove the standard aerial, by using a soldering iron to dislocate the main antenna’ s connecting wire coupling

·         The main connector of the satellite dish will then be soldered onto the foundations of the previous standard connector.

It occurs to me that this particular process will be tricky and a few electrical tweaks here and there may be necessary. I will probably need assistance for such a fiddly task.  

Building the server should be relatively simple as, it will just be a generic computer station, preferably Linux based. This will act as the main connection point for all relevant devices. The dish-based dongle connection will be the amplifier for the network, enabling users to connect accordingly through use of a special encrypted key. This will be given to all who request it. In theory, the server could probably support about 100 devices at a time but, I’ll come back to that.

As VOBI will be Bluetooth based and Linux operated, I will need a programmer to write the connection and encryption program for the project to work soundly. There is a possibility it can be, implemented by myself but, I would have to use an open source program of which could both be unreliable and tedious to an untrained user. I’ll come back to that too.

I should also mention that I named this project, VOBI because it is both recognisable and correct to its cause.

I will be working on this project as soon as I acquire the necessary funding. Once I have the dish, I then have the project.
