Radio Characteristics
Range Characteristics (Approximate range in office environment)
The above readings are approximate and may vary depending upon the RF environment. Bluetooth hops in a
pseudo-random fashion over the 79 frequencies in the ISM band to adapt to the interference. Data throughput
and range vary depending on the RF interference environment.
