What is Bluetooth wireless technology?
Bluetooth® wireless technology is a short-
range wireless technology that enables
wireless data communication between
digital devices, such as a computer or
digital camera. Bluetooth wireless
technology operates within a range of
about 10 metres.
Connecting two devices as necessary 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, nor 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 standard is an international
standard supported by thousands of
companies all over the world, and
employed by various companies
worldwide.

Qu’est-ce que la technologie sans fil Bluetooth ?
La technologie Bluetooth® est une
technologie sans fil à courte portée
permettant la communication de données
sans fil entre des appareils numériques,
tels que des ordinateurs ou des appareils
photo numériques. La technologie sans fil
Bluetooth fonctionne dans un rayon
d’environ 10 mètres.
La connexion de deux appareils est
courante et certains appareils permettent
de se connecter simultanément à
plusieurs périphériques.
Il est inutile d’utiliser un câble pour le
raccordement et il n’est pas non plus
nécessaire de diriger les appareils l’un vers
l’autre, comme c’est le cas avec la
technologie infrarouge. Par exemple, vous
pouvez utiliser ce type d’appareil, même
s’il se trouve dans un sac ou une poche.
Bluetooth est une norme internationale
prise en charge et utilisée par des milliers
d’entreprises de par le monde.
