3. Wireless Bluetooth Basics
Wireless Bluetooth systems offer a great number of advantages over a traditional, wired system.
Wireless Bluetooth are more flexible, easier to setup and manage and often more cost effective
than their wired equivalence.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology. Bluetooth transmits and receives data over the air,
minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, Bluetooth combines data connectivity with
user mobility, and, through simplified configuration, enable movable LANs.
With wireless Bluetooth, users can access shared information without looking for a place to plug
in and network managers can set up or augment networks without installing or moving wires.
Wireless Bluetooth offers the following productivity, convenience and cost advantages over
traditional wired networks.
• Mobility – Wireless Bluetooth systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time
information anywhere in their organization. This mobility supports productivity and service
opportunities not possible with wired networks.
• Installation Speed and Simplicity – Installing a wireless Bluetooth system can be fast and easy
and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.
• Installation Flexibility – wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go.
• Reduced Cost-of-Ownership – While the initial investment required for wireless Bluetooth
hardware might be higher than the cost of wired LAN hardware, overall installation expenses
and life-cycle costs will be significantly lower. Long- term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic
environments requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.
• Scalability – Wireless Bluetooth systems can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet
the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range
from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks of
thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area.
