Hi Jason,
Bluetooth use a spread spectrum technology
and less power, so you can use both. 802.11b
work on
a single frequency, so the interference must not be an issue.
I use both: bluetooth for sync with Ericsson
T39
and Compaq iPaq H3870 and 802.11b for home wireless
network. Unfortunately,
the range of 802.11 in concrete buildings is a lot much smaller as
expected.
With a great difficulty I can cover the full flat. The range of
Bluetooth
(10m for small power class) is allmost the same as for 802.11 in concrete
buildings, which is great. I use a Mitsumi USB Bluetooth Adapter with
modified
TDK drivers and it works great. More than that, on the same notebook I have
the
bluetooth adapter and the 802.11 card (Compaq WL110) and there is no
interference problem. I can sync the iPaq and phone with the notebook and
trough
the 802.11b the notebook is connected to the Internet (trouugh AP), so I
have
for iPaq a bluetooth connection to the internet (no other interface
required).
It's cool.
BR,
Dan

11mb Wireless lan CAN coexist?
A question for anyone with practical
experience...
Does bluetooth get on with a 802.11b access point in
the
same room?
I currently have my cable modem and wap in my home
office.
The wap feeds
the fuji tab, and the gf's notebook.
I would like
to
add bluetooth to the main pc in the office for syncing
with the t68i,
pocketpc.
Now, I know that the frequencies are basically the same
band
(2.4G) but
I'm pretty sure I read reports of them getting along.. (Just
can't find
them now I'm looking)
Anyone have a similar setup
actually working? If so, please list the
specific hardware
involved.
TIA
J
