Bluetooth Wireless Technology
Bluetooth wireless technology is a new development that is about to
revolutionize the field of personal networks. As a world-wide standard for
short-range, low-cost wireless communications, Bluetooth compatibility
will be integrated in a wide variety of devices, allowing notebooks, mobile
phones and other mobile equipment to communicate with each other and
access the Internet.
The Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) comprises electronics and
communications equipment manufacturers and other leading companies in
the fields of computing and networking. The SIG has worked out the
technological standards for Bluetooth communications. Many Bluetooth
technology compatible products are now being developed and brought onto
the market. Along with Sony, the Bluetooth SIG comprises more than 2000
companies worldwide including major computer and communications
equipment manufacturers as well as household appliance manufacturers.
Connection format
Using Bluetooth, the notebook in which this device is installed can
communicate wirelessly with nearby peripheral devices (with no
interconnecting cables).
In addition, files can be exchanged wirelessly between the notebook in
which this device is installed and other Bluetooth-enabled computers or
digital cameras.
To establish a wireless connection between the notebook in which this
device is installed and another Bluetooth-enabled device, each device must
support a common set of functions (profile).
