What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a new low-cost,
wireless technology designed for
mobile computing and
communications devices which
can create a personal network
(sometimes called a piconet)
around your mobile computer
for your mobile phone, PDA,
and other peripherals to send or
exchange data or voice, and
access the Internet.
Bluetooth is intended to
eliminate cable interconnection
of most personal digital devices
for point-to-point
communications, and offers a
versatile topology: Point-to-point
(cable replacement); Point-to-
multipoint (
ad-hoc networking).
This new technology has very
broad industry support with over
1850 companies joining the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group
(SIG).
