Point Of Interest: On early manufacture date units (mostly with release firmware such as 1.06) there is a known issue with faulty 3G sub boards. For more information on how to remedy check the errors page: C2-9693-7.
Bluetooth / WiFi
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology for creating personal area networks operating in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed band, with a default range of 10 meters.
An overview of Bluetooth:

Bluetooth radio
Bluetooth 2.0 uses frequencies between 2.4000 and 2.4835 GHz, and divides the band into 79 MHz channels (numbered 0-78), with frequency hopping at a rate of 1600 times per second. Channel 0 has a frequency centred at 2.4020 GHz, allowing a lower guard band of 2 MHz. Channel 78 has a frequency centred at 2.4800 GHz, allowing an upper guard band of 3.5 MHz. Bluetooth devices are divided into three classes, depending on their maximum transmitted power (and hence their maximum range):
| Class | Power | Range |
| Class 1 | 100mW (20 dBm) |
100m (325ft) |
| Class 2 | 2.5mW (4 dBm) |
10m (32ft) |
| Class 3 | 1mW (0 dBm) |
1m (3ft) |

Bluetooth Profile
Bluetooth® devices that support the following profile can be paired with your system:
- A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
- AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile)
- HSP (Headset Profile)
- HID (Human Interface Device Profile)
- HFP (3G model only?), PBAP (3G model only?), PAN (all models?)?
You can connect up to seven Bluetooth® devices at one time.
By using the Object Push Profile (OPP), on Firmware 3.18, the attempts forcing the connection to the Vita will give a loophole .
Bluetooth Adressing
Each Bluetooth unit has a unique 48-bit address (BD_ADDR).
