3 Software Introduction
The Bluetooth® wireless technology provides short-range wireless communications that
replace the physical cable connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as
•
Network access points
• Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA,
and so on
)
•
Imaging devices (printer, camera)
• Audio devices (headset, speakers)
The Bluetooth wireless technology also enables communication between the above devices
and Bluetooth-enabled phones (cellular, cordless, smart phones, and so on).
The Bluetooth for Windows software consists of the following components:
•
Microsoft
