Bluetooth
wireless technology allows short-range (within a distance of 10 meters) communication among
Bluetooth enabled devices, eliminating the need for cables. When connected, one device can use or be used by
the other, as specified by the user.
Because Bluetooth communications are broadcast over the air, Bluetooth communications can be set to use
encryption to protect against others intercepting sensitive data. Typical Bluetooth enabled devices include:
Human interface devices such as a mouse or keyboard
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA, for example)
Imaging devices (printers, scanners, and cameras)
Printers
Audio devices
Network access points
Telephones
Fax machines
Examples of how one Bluetooth device can use or be used by another Bluetooth device are:
Using a hands-free audio device with a wireless phone or internet telephony
Using a wireless mouse, keyboard, or game controller
Listening to audio on one device that is being played on another
Exchanging files and business cards
Synchronizing Personal Information Manager databases
Connecting to the Internet
Printing or sending a fax
