Hello Starkler,
It is not really a problem if numerous BETIs are used in the same spot. Each BETI has a unique name and Bluetooth provides plenty of channels (79) and the Bluetooth module in BETI will find a free channel to communicate with the owner's PDA/PC.
Also Buetooth modules installed in most PDAs/PCs are class 2 modules with a range of reliable communications of probably 10 metres. It is very unlikely that there will be so many observers in such a limited space.
