What is the range of bluetooth?
Bluetooth devices can be in 3 different power classes:
Class 3 : The lowest power, the max. range of this is 10m (30 feet)
Class 2 : Max range is about 50m (150ft)
Class 1 : Max range is about 100m (300ft)
These ranges can be affected by environmental conditions i.e. furniture, walls, people so ranges can easily be reduced. Bluetooth is not a line of sight connection so it can be used through walls and floors.
What is the speed of bluetooth?
Bluetooth is faster than an ISDN connection but slower than a IR (infra red) connection used on a laptop - a normal Bluetooth connection is about the same speed as a home broadband connection.
How secure is bluetooth?
It is a common misconception that all Bluetooth devices can connect to any other device and browse the information on it. This cannot be done without the user setting the device to do so. Bluetooth security has various levels of authentication including pin code entry and up to 128-bit encryption.
