How does Bluetooth work?
Using radio waves, any Bluetooth-enabled item can automatically connect securely to others within a range of 10m (or 100m using a higher specification).
The data transfer speed is up to 1Mbps, less than the 10Mbps available for standard Ethernet office networks. This means that, while Bluetooth generally isn't fast enough to run an entirely wireless office, its convenience makes it a useful addition to a standard cabled network. For example, it's perfect for connecting mobile devices, like PDAs or laptops with your network and reducing clutter in meeting and presentation areas.
