Bluetooth Networking Overview
Bluetooth wireless technology lets you make short-range (within a distance of 10 meters) wireless
connections between your computer and other Bluetooth enabled devices, eliminating the need for
cables. Because Bluetooth communications are broadcast over the air, Bluetooth devices exchange
PIN codes and encryption to verify identity and provide security against the interception of sensitive
data. Bluetooth functionality on your computer is enabled by the Bluetooth network adapter that is
installed on your computer.
Types of Bluetooth enabled devices you can use with your Bluetooth enabled computer include:
• Audio headsets and headphones
• Human interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller
• Mobile phones
• Other computers
• Smartphones and PDAs
• Media players
