bluetooth technology

[fethers]

What happens if in the same office with close proximity and we start using bluetooth mice and keyboards. Does it work or create a whole lot of problems????

can't answer - never come accross one ...

it's wireless ... it operates in the same band as wifi
there will be a lot of them (?)
disaster!!

however - they are encrypted, and low power

My guess is that inevitably there will be intererence - all those waves bouncing around

but keyboard/mouse are uncomplicated ... so error correction should take care of it
it depends what other bluetooth kit is in use allongside.

if it's all deskbound - I'd question WHY? - flash is only flash if it works ...

it's a company ... not a boutique (?) - so I'd think there were other priorities - such as security to consider

when using bluetooth from one device to another, the recieving device has to be activated in order to accept bluetooth from the sending device, so devices in an office won't accept bluetooth info just because it's there. It's up to you/others to tell their computers/phones etc it's ok to do so.
