The DECT and Microwave are what I've been told. But I know for a fact that Bluetooth operates in the 2.4GHz range and frequency hops at 600 times per second which can really screw up 802.11B and G. The new Bluetooth standard is supposed to discover, then skip WiFi stations, but there are millions of the old Bluetooth devices out there.
