• Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or pre-defined
channel mask.
• Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
• Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping channels.
• Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels. AFH
coexistence allows Motorola Enterprise Tablets to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this device operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is 2.5 mW
and the expected range is 10 meters (32.8 ft.). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult to obtain due to
power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
Note: It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b
operation is required.
Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified. This
allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level security occurs
between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user basis. The Bluetooth
specification defines security algorithms and procedures required to authenticate devices, and if needed, encrypt the
data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory feature of Bluetooth while link
encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key used to authenticate the devices and
create a link key for them. Entering a common personal identification number (PIN) in the devices being paired
generates the initialization key. The PIN is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with no
key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of Bluetooth devices
is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN or passkey used to create other 128-bit
keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing
devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-
distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
• Perform pairing in a secure environment
• Keep PIN codes private and do not store the PIN codes in the device
• Implement application-level security.
Bluetooth Profiles
The TC55 supports the following Bluetooth services:
• Generic Access Profile (GAP) - Use for device discovery and authentication.
• Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) - Handles the search for known and specific services as well as general
services.
• Serial Port Profile (SPP) - Sets up a virtual serial port and connects two Bluetooth enabled devices. For example,
connecting the TC55 to a printer.
• Human Interface Device Profile (HID) - Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and
remote monitoring devices to connect to the TC55.
• Object Push Profile (OPP) - Allows the TC55 to push and pull objects to and from a push server.
• Dial-up Networking (DUN) - Allows the TC55 to access the Internet and other dial-up services using a Bluetooth
enabled mobile phone.
• Hands-Free Profile (HFP) - Allows a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset, to place and receive calls on
the TC55.
• Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) - Allows the TC55 to stream stereo-quality audio to a wireless
headset or wireless stereo speakers.
