It is a simple and instant radio solution that allows different devices to talk to one another. Bluetooth eliminates the need for cables/wires/cords between devices such as mobile phones and headphones. Bluetooth facilitates fast and secure transmissions of both voice and data between devices even if they are not in line-of-sight. Most Bluetooth devices are described as 'Class 2'. These are very low power and have a range of about 10 meters. Some devices are Class 1. These have range comparable to that of Wi-Fi and have a range up to 100 meters. A limited, but growing number of devices use Bluetooth at present. Devices that are starting to have Bluetooth connectivity built in include:
Headsets Headphone Cell Phones PDAs Laptops Digital cameras and camcorders Printers Scanners Keyboards and Mice In-car handsfree kits GPS navigation receivers Home appliances (microwaves, washers, driers, refrigerators) In addition, add on Bluetooth adapters are available for computers (i.e. with a USB interface) and for PDAs.
