In this paper we discuss several improvements to the security and reliability of a classic Bluetooth network (piconet) that can arise from the fact of being able to transmit the same frame with two frequencies on each slot, instead of the actual standard, that uses only one frequency. Furthermore, we build upon this possibility and we show that piconet participants can explore many strategies to increase the security of their communications by confounding eavesdroppers, such as multiple hopping sequences, random selection of a hop- ping sequence on each transmission slot and variable frame encryption per hopping sequence. Finally, all this can be decided independently by any piconet participant without having to agree in real time on some type of service with other participants of the same piconet.
