Appendix B. Learning More About Bluetooth

Asanté is pleased to be an official member of the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group). The organization’s official website is http://www.bluetooth.com .

Bluetooth is a wireless specification that supports data and voice-centric applications. The radio operates in an unlicensed 2.4 GHz radio spectrum around the world. The signals use a spread spectrum, frequency hopping (up to 1600 hops/second), full-duplex signal. With 79 frequencies at 1 MHz intervals, Bluetooth provides a high degree of signal integrity and can share the same frequency spectrum with IEEE 802.11b Wi-Fi devices and even microwave ovens!
