Bluetooth Networking Overview

Bluetooth wireless technology lets you make short-range (typically within a distance of 10 meters)
wireless connections between your computer and other Bluetooth enabled devices. Bluetooth
functionality is enabled by the Bluetooth radio that is installed on your computer.

Types of Bluetooth enabled devices you can use with your Bluetooth enabled computer include (but
are not limited to):

• Audio headsets and headphones

• Human interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or game controller

• Mobile phones

• Other computers

• Media players

• Digital cameras

• Printers

When you add a Bluetooth enabled device (also referred to as pairing with the device), your computer
discovers the services that the device provides. These services determine the things you can do with
the device. Here are some of the things you can do with various Bluetooth enabled devices:
