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?
