It's 802.15.1. See > bluetooth.org for the details. And 802.11b is supposed to only be a few hundred meters, but that hasn't stopped people from accessing across 50 kilometers! And 16 kilometers with omnidirectional antennas! http://home.earthlink.net/~wifi-shootout/ Thus although bluetooth's range is supposed to be 10 meters, for purposes of attack envelope, it should probably be considered 100 meters or more. -- Nicholas C.
