Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range data communication technology. It uses frequency hopping in timeslots and has the ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions. Bluetooth signals avoid interference from other signals by hopping to a new frequency after transmitting or receiving a data packet. Therefore, this technology is robust, cost-effective, and replaces cables connecting devices, assuring high levels of security.
