What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth in its most basic form is cable replacement. Where cables now connect many devices, a wireless Bluetooth connection will provide low-cost wireless communications and networking between PCs mobile phones and other devices. This will enable untethered, wireless connectivity, to the Internet and other devices, anytime, anywhere. Bluetooth is based on a global radio-frequency (RF) standard, which operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band, providing license-free operation in the United States, most of Europe and Japan. Bluetooth technology is an important element in the wireless Internet scheme because it improves seamless Internet connectivity and information delivery. Bluetooth wireless technology will virtually eliminate the need for business travelers to purchase or carry numerous proprietary cables by enabling one-to-one and one-to-many connections among PCs, mobile phones and other devices, such as printers and display monitors.
