[Acoustics] 802.11b Wireless vs Bluetooth

[Christopher D Laveau]

Hello All:

Does anyone have any experience with the use of  802.11b wireless 
technology vs Bluetooth for communication with a Rio Grande Workhorse 
ADCP? Currently we are using a tethered Oceanscience Riverboat with 
Freewave radios and are looking to move to radios with a smaller size and 
energy requirement.  I am aware of individuals using Bluetooth for 
communication with an ADCP but is there a reason that technology is 
preferable over 802.11b Wi-Fi.

Thanks,
Chris
