without an access point. Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those
devices directly connected to it.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices.
Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users
accessing the remote station.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices
transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice
and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless
technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:
• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.
• Transferring fi les between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.
• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).
• The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending
on the device or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls,
jacket pockets and briefcases using a Bluetooth device. The transfer between
Bluetooth devices occurs at the high frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz).
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, air planes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are sure it
will cause no interference.
