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 meters (about 30 feet).
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.
