•
A Bluetooth server—these devices provide one or more services, such as
access to the Internet, to other Bluetooth devices.
•
A Bluetooth client—these devices use the service(s) provided by Bluetooth
servers.
Bluetooth devices that can act as both server and client can often do both at the
same time.
