What is blue tooth


Vapor, at the moment. The hype is that it'll be a high-speed, short-range (a few feet!) wireless network operating at 2.4GHz, cheap and small and power-efficient enough to be built into everything from your cell phone to your keyboard to your wristwatch so they can all talk to each other without your knowledge.

While attending a Cisco wireless talk someone asked the systems engineer about BlueTooth interference and its impact on 802.11b:

I have also heard of a modified BlueTooth protocol (they had some name for it, cooperative maybe?) that listens to the air and attempts to transmit their signal between other traffic, most notably 802.11b frames.
