AirID system requirements
For workstations without built in Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0/4.2 capabilities, a USB Bluetooth Donlge or the AirID Bridge - an USB Bluetooth connector - MUST be used to provide connectivity.
Since Windows 7 doesn't support the Bluetooth Low Energy standard, a AirID Bridge is required additionally.
