Quinta – Trouble Shooting 8.1 36 Simultaneous Operation of the Quinta Conference System and other 2.4 GHz Devices (e.g. WLAN, Bluetooth) 8.1.1 Physical Laws Due to many physical laws it is not possible to guarantee a simultaneous interference-free operation of different devices using the same frequency band. Radio devices operating in the same frequency band will always disturb each other (the function can be disturbed as well).
Quinta – Trouble Shooting 8.1.3 • • • Quinta and Bluetooth Bluetooth devices make use of the whole 2.4 GHz range with changing carrier frequencies (frequency hopping). Interferences caused by Bluetooth devices (including microwave ovens) in normal operation can be excluded due to different measures inside the Quinta conference system and an advanced transmission protocol. It cannot be excluded, however, that an exisisting Bluetooth data traffic will be intefered by Quinta. 8.1.
