11 Chapter 15 Bluetooth Bluetooth is an attempt to allow any wireless device to connect to any other wireless device. Designed for short distances Bandwidth of about 700 Kbps
12
12 Chapter 15 IEEE 802.11a/b A second wireless method of connectivity. IEEE 802.11b has a bit longer range and much higher bandwidth (11 Mbps). IEEE 802.11a parameters call for a bandwidth of 51 Mbps, offering a path for video conferencing and other high-speed needs.
