Nowadays, most PocketPC’s have both Bluetooth and WiFi radios. Many people owning more than one handheld still run legacy Bluetooth routers along their WiFi systems – and Bluetooth headphones/etc have never been as popular as they are right now.
So far so good – but both Bluetooth and WiFi operate in the 2.4GhZ band…don’t they disturb one another?
The folks over at Eurescom’s have put online an interesting paper looking at bluetooth/WiFi interference. Cutting a long story short: yes, they do interfere. However, the impact usually is below 25%.

Do you run Bluetooth and WiFi devices in parallel? Can you agree to their findings?

I just found out that if I turn both off on my pc WI-FI and Bluetooth, turning on bluetooth first and pairing with a device (speaker or cellphone) before turning on wi-fi and get internet connection, I can work with both with minimal issues, I tried even with my wi-fi enabled smartphone and worked.
Hi,
to be honest: I have been using the two services in paralell for a long time, and didn’t see any issues.
