Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables be-
tween devices, such as printers, keyboards, and mice.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates over a short distance. Blue-
tooth devices use radio transmission, which enables computers,
mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice, and other devices to
communicate with each other without cables.
There are several uses for Bluetooth wireless technology, includ-
ing, but not limited to:
• Creating a wireless connection to the Internet with a mobile
phone or a modem server
.
•
Transferring files between computers or between a com-
puter and another device
.
•
Printing to a Bluetooth wireless printer.
• Using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse.
•
Joining a personal area network (PAN).
•
Synchronizing a personal digital assistant (PDA) to a com-
puter or another device using Bluetooth wireless technology
.
The data transfer speed for Bluetooth wireless technology can be
up to 700 kilobits (Kbps) per second. The data transfer speed can
vary depending on the device or environmental factors. A Blue-
tooth device can transmit through walls, pockets, and briefcases.
Since Bluetooth is using the same frequency range as WLAN, simul-
taneous use might cause interference.
If this should happen you can disable one service temporary.
