3.1 Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth is an internationally standardized technology supporting short distance wireless
communications. Any two Bluetooth-compatible equipments, such as mobile phone, PDA, PC,
headset, mouse, keyboards, printer, etc. can wirelessly communicate with each other via
Bluetooth connection. To ensure worldwide compatibility, Bluetooth operates on the globally
available Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band. Within 2.4 GHz and 2.48 GHz,
Bluetooth transmits data up to either 10 meters (CLASS II mode) or 100 meters (CLASS I mode)
using 79 frequency hopping channels.
Though line-of-sight is not required, Bluetooth connections could be subject to interferences from
obstructions such as walls, human bodies, and other electronic devices. In addition, due to
variations on product implementation, it is likely that Bluetooth equipments from different
manufactures have interoperability issues. In that case, you may consult with manufactures to
check product compatibility.
Note that, there could be some restrictions imposing on using Bluetooth devices in some
countries. Please check with your local authorities.
