About BLUETOOTH function

What is BLUETOOTH technology?

!BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (33 ft). Connecting two devices is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.

!You do not need to use a cable for connection since BLUETOOTH technology is a wireless technology, neither is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.

!BLUETOOTH technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

On BLUETOOTH communication
