data throughput, users should be at least 10 meters away from a Bluetooth
class 1 device.
- Power class 2: maximum transmit power: +4 dBm (range 10m)
o Voice application: do not mount an Alcatel-Lucent AP within 1 meter of a
power class 2 Bluetooth AP. WLAN handset users can experience cuts in
the audio when placed less than 1 meter from a Bluetooth class 2 device in
use. Cuts are less than 1 second long and can appear in bursts. General
audio quality is minimally impacted.
o 802b/g Data application: for maximum throughput, do not mount an
Alcatel-Lucent AP within 10 meters of a power class 2 Bluetooth AP.
o 802.11b/g data throughput is reduced when a user is within 10 meters
from a class 2 Bluetooth device in use. To ensure 80% of the maximum
data throughput, users should be at least 3 meters away from a Bluetooth
class 2 device.
- Power class 3: max transmit power: 0 dBm (range 10 cm)
o Not tested, interferences should be minimal on WLAN.
Cohabitation with Microwave Ovens
Microwave ovens emit signals in the ISM band. Depending on how well the oven is
shielded, emissions can disturb WLAN applications. To reduce interference from
microwave ovens, check the label on the microwave which should provide the
central operating frequency. Most microwave ovens operate at a central frequency
of 2.45 GHz, Emissions occur in a large band, so typically disturb channels 6 to 11. In
this case, an AP close to a microwave oven should be set to channel 1.
