Bluetooth USB Adapter

Chances are that your current computer or laptop does not have Bluetooth technology incorporated into its design. However, many will find that their phone is Bluetooth enabled. Fat lot of good it is having one half enabled and the other not. Well, this need be a problem no more…

What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth technology enables users to link between computers, mobile phones, portable handheld devices and laptops, as well as providing connectivity to the internet. It does this using a radio-based link to create a short-range wireless connection.

The advantages of this over comparable technology is that, unlike infrared, the devices do not need to be pointing at each other. You can be using your laptop in one room and send a document to be printed in another room some distance away.

To establish a connection, two Bluetooth-equipped devices simply have to come within a 10 metre range of each other.

The Solution
Until manufacturers start incorporating Bluetooth into all designs, users wishing to adopt the technology will need products like this - a Bluetooth USB adapter.

The Bluetooth USB adapter allows you to convert your computer or laptop into a Bluetooth-enabled machine, ready for communication with other Bluetooth-equipped devices. They are produced by all the major electronics manufacturers, with items such as the Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter currently retailing at £29.99 (Aug 04). (Click here to purchase).
