Restore wireless connection strength when using Bluetooth
Authored by: sschaubach on Aug 24, '05 04:29:56AM

this is from http://www.bluetooth.org

"What are the coexistence issues between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology?

Any time devices are operated in the same frequency band, there is the potential for interference. The severity of this interference is a function of the system designs and the distance between devices. Since the strength of a radio signal varies approximately with the "inverse square" of the distance, a small increase in separation can reduce the level of interference significantly. Studies by a number of companies indicate that if the separation is more than 2 meters, in most cases there is no perceptible degradation transmitting data in either device. From two meters to about a half-meter, there is a graceful degradation. As the devices are brought in very close proximity and collocated, the degradation can be quite noticeable. Fortunately, this scenario only happens when the two systems are in the same device, and in those cases, Bluetooth hardware and Wi-Fi hardware can collaborate to dramatically improve performance."
