Title: Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo CF Card??
Post by: spectreone on January 13, 2004, 11:02:36 am

Does anyone know if a combination wi-fi/bluetooth CF Card exists?  And if one does, is it supported by the Zaurrii?  I\'m looking into purchasing a c860, but the builtin wi-fi and bluetooth of the 6000 are making me think twice. If I can find one CF Card that does both, that would make a c860 a perfect solution for me.

Don\'t think one exists.

Considered using an Aircable Cellconnect for the bluetooth side (plugs into the Sync. port).

There is a company in taiwan that makes a combo module with CF signalling, in a formfactor to fit in a CF case (but its not a CF card, its a pcb).  So, in theory, someone should make one.  In practice, I haven\'t seen one on the market yet, and I\'m looking too.

Since BT and WiFi use the same frequency range, integrating both into the same radio is a Very Good Idea... much better performance and less overlap (though in theory spread spectrum shouldn\'t have the problem, in practice, apparently it does.)

Eventually you should be able to buy a BT WiFi CF card... though there may be one out there that is too new to be well known about yet.
