Through
ITU (International Telecommunication Union) agreement bandwidth
has been set aside for amateur transmissions. Amateurs use a variety
of transmission modes, including Morse code, radio teletype, data,
and voice. Specific frequency allocations are a matter of record
and vary from country to country and region to region, but the frequency
allocations in the USA are:
Medium Frequency (MF) (300 kHz to 3 MHz)
160 metres (1.8 - 2.0 MHz)
High Frequency (HF) (3.0 - 30.0 MHz)
80 metres (3.5 - 4.0 MHz)

Generally,
small handhelds like the palm, and most new macintosh computers
use "bluetooth" as a means of exchanging data within 30 feet. It
enables users to connect a wide range of computing and telecommunications
devices easily and simply, without the need to buy, carry, or connect
cables.
It uses the 2.4 ghz spectrum to communicate a 1 megabit connection
between 2 devices for both a voice channel and a 768k data channel
The entire channel has a total capacity of 1 megabit per second
(Mbps).
Headers and handshaking information consume about 20 percent of
this capacity.
In the United States and Europe,
the frequency range is 2,400 to 2,483.5 MHz,
with 79 1-MHz radio frequency (RF) channels.
In practice, the range is 2,402 MHz to 2,480 MHz.
In Japan, the frequency range is 2,472 to 2,497 MHz with 23 1-MHz
RF channels.
A data channel hops randomly 1,600 times per second
between the 79 (or 23) RF channels.
Each channel is divided into time slots 625 microseconds long.
A piconet has a master and up to seven slaves.
The master transmits in even time slots, slaves in odd time slots.
Packets can be up to five time slots wide.
Data in a packet can be up to 2,745 bits in length
