When you have these many bluetooth PANs, the Wifi (the transmission the Field Management System (FMS) uses) will have more interference.

As a programmer, I would say this because the Ping time, back and forth, gets greatly increased. That means that if you are doing offboard processing like vision tracking, the lag will get so high, the driver would go home (or their hotel room) with a migraine.

I tried to elaborate. Please let us know if you have any problems, and remember, there is the old, handy-dandy google!

It is my understanding that the field uses only the 5GHz band so it should be unaffected by bluetooth communication.
