- Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security.
- The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost.
- The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other.
- Bluetooth technology has achieved global acceptance such that any Bluetooth enabled device, almost everywhere in the world, can connect to other Bluetooth enabled devices in proximity.
- Bluetooth enabled electronic devices connect and communicate wirelessly through short-range, ad hoc networks known as piconets.
- Each device can simultaneously communicate with up to seven other devices within a single piconet. Each device can also belong to several piconets simultaneously.
- Piconets are established dynamically and automatically as Bluetooth enabled devices enter and leave radio proximity.
- A fundamental Bluetooth wireless technology strength is the ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions. This enables users to enjoy variety of innovative solutions such as a hands-free headset for voice calls, printing and fax capabilities, and synchronizing PDA, laptop, and mobile phone applications to name a few.
