Can Bluetooth And Wi-fi (802.11a/b/g) Co-exist?

[Minyomei]

What if I would need to talk on my Bluetooth headset whilst watching Wi-Fi transmitted video signal in my living area...

Bluetooth uses the same frequency band as 802.11b/g. I have a Bluetooth mouse and an 802.11g network, and the mouse sometimes gets laggy when I'm transferring a lot of data, but for the most part there are no problems. Bluetooth hops around from one frequency to another, so you only get interference when they both happen to be using the same frequency. If you're concerned about interference, you could try switching to 802.11a if your equipment supports it. It uses the 5 GHz band instead of 2.4 GHz, so it won't interfere with Bluetooth. You also won't get interference from your neighbors' networks(since most people use b/g) or from microwave ovens. 802.11a runs at the same speed as 802.11g but has slightly less range.

While they are both in the 2.4Mhz frequency range, they coexist I talk all the time on my BT Headset while using a 802.11g enabled PCTo do whay you say, you'd just need a phone that had a BT headset availability.

Yes, usually, but there can be some interference with 802.11b/g. Bluetooth uses the same frequency band as 802.11b/g.

Under some circumstances Wi-fi can interfere with your cordless phone, and vice-versa, but it seems to work happily along with BlueTooth.
