Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology used to form a personal-area network (PAN), in an effort to unify telephony and computing devices. Today, Bluetooth can be found integrated into cell phones, PDAs, laptops, desktops, printers, headsets, cameras, and video game consoles. Bluetooth has low power consumption, making it a good choice for mobile, battery-powered devices.
Bluetooth began as Versions 1.0 and 1.0b, developed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). For a time, several Bluetooth versions were incorporated into the IEEE 802.15.1 standard, but that standard is no longer maintained. The Bluetooth SIG continued to develop its own standard, currently published as core Version 4.
