Bluetooth Communications
The Bluetooth specification is an open standard that defines a low cost, radio-based technology for short-range wireless communications.
Designed to enable wireless transmission of data signals, Bluetooth communication eliminates the need for cables. The technology is already
capable of connecting a wide range of communications devices, such as mobile phones and laptop computers, and will revolutionize
connectivity in many other electronic applications.
