Abstract

From the Book:PrefaceIn today's mobile society, the need to connect communications and networking devices together with a physical cable is becoming more and more of a nuisance. With the emergence of the digital cellular telephone and handheld (and highly portable) computing devices, users are looking for a way to connect to their local network, the Internet, or even their own desktop computer from wherever they might be. Several emerging technologies can create a wireless world that supports this kind of freedom @md freedom from wires; freedom from land-based telephone systems; and the freedom to access data truly "anytime, anywhere."The Bluetooth technology, which was born from the cellular industry, is only one of the new cable-replacement technologies. Bluetooth, funny name and all, is being developed to provide mobile users with the levels of freedom they desire. Bluetooth technology is certainly a key part of creating what is being called "The Mobile Society." In a Bluetooth world, you can connect your handheld device @md be it a cell phone, a notebook computer, or a personal digital assistant (PDA) @md to your network or even to other Bluetooth-enabled devices to create ad hoc, peer-to-peer networks, using wireless technology. If you and a friend want to share data from one Palm Pilot to another, you don't need to hook up with a link cable. Bluetooth technology enables you and your friend to connect up over a wireless link that is automatically configured.In this book, we offer many other examples of how Bluetooth can be put to use. We provide you with both a general overview of the Bluetooth technology and its applications as well as a more technical, but not too technical, look at the components and how Bluetooth operates to support its applications.
