Introducing Bluetooth

®

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of
about 10 meters (30 feet) without requiring a physical connection.

Unlike infrared, you do not need to line up the devices to beam information
with Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a range of about 10
meters. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as
long as it is within the specififed range.
