Bluetooth and Network Interference
Bluetooth headsets use the same 2.4 GHz frequency as 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless networks as well as other devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones. Interference from such devices is likely to impact Bluetooth transmissions and Bluetooth headsets may interfere with wireless connections to the iPad. This issue is not specific to Cisco Jabber Video for iPad but can result in dropped or interrupted calls and voice quality issues.
Minimize interference to wireless networks from Bluetooth headsets by ensuring a strong wireless network signal is available throughout the coverage area.
Cisco cannot troubleshoot these issues.
