How Bluetooth Connects
Bluetooth works by connecting different electronic devices using short-range radio transmissions. Bluetooth can connect one unit (the "master" unit) with up to 7 other units (the "slave" units). These 8 unit groups can then be connected together, once again using Bluetooth technology, to form even larger networks. Theoretically, there's no limit to the number of units that could be connected in this fashion via Bluetooth.
What Bluetooth Integrates
Bluetooth technology is used primarily to create personal area networks. These small, short-distance wireless networks are used in turn to create wireless connectivity to mobile devices and static ones alike. Bluetooth can wirelessly connect cellular devices, computers, video game systems and virtually any other kind of electronic device into which the technology is outfitted.
The Benefits of Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology has become so widespread and has cornered a large share of the market because it has many benefits when compared with other personal area networking options, such as WiFi. Bluetooth is extremely affordable and has a relatively large range, with some Bluetooth networks allowing devices as far away as 100 meters to be connected wirelessly. It is also a universalized technology, which allows devices from different parent companies to be linked seamlessly and without a difficult setup process.
