Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Bluetooth wireless technology is a new development that is about to
revolutionize the field of personal networks. As a world-wide standard for
short-range, low-cost wireless communications, Bluetooth compatibility
will be integrated in a wide variety of devices, allowing notebooks, mobile
phones and other mobile equipment to communicate with each other and
access the Internet.
The Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) comprises electronics and
communications equipment manufacturers and other leading companies in
the fields of computing and networking. The SIG has worked out the
technological standards for Bluetooth communications. Many Bluetooth
compatible products are now being developed and brought onto the market.
Along with Sony, the Bluetooth SIG comprises more than 2000 companies
worldwide including major computer and communications equipment
manufacturers as well as household appliance manufacturers.

Bluetooth communications are carried out by one master device and up to
seven slave devices which form a wireless network for exchanging data.
The master device calls other Bluetooth compatible devices in the vicinity.
When a device responds, it can be connected to the master as a slave
device.
A personal computer such as a notebook can be both a master that calls
other Bluetooth devices or a slave that responds and connects to a master
device.
