When Bluetooth-capable devices come within range of one another, an electronic conversation automatically takes place to determine whether they have data to share or whether one needs to control the other. Then, the devices hop frequencies in unison so they stay in touch with one another and avoid interference with other devices.
GoBook MR-1 Page 36 of 90 Improving Radio Coverage Wireless connectivity between your computer and wireless network access points is essential. Maintaining this wireless connectivity over a wide area is fundamental to the usefulness of the network. This makes the scope and reliability of radio coverage a primary concern. Therefore, one of the most important features of the wireless network is the degree of radio coverage provided. Coverage can be influenced by terrain, buildings or even a crowded room.
