Bluetooth

-------------------------------------------------

There are four main different types of wireless technologies, which I will be discussing. The first type that I am going to discuss is Bluetooth. Bluetooth wireless technology allows users to enable links between their mobile computers, mobile phones, portable handheld devices, and Internet connectivity, no wires involved, or needed. Bluetooth wireless technology is mostly used for devices such as cell phones, PDAs, wireless headsets, computer hardware (printers, mice, keyboards, etc.), headphones, MP3 players, etc. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. Bluetooth wireless technology is supported by application and product development in a broad range of market subdivisions, which includes software developers, peripheral and camera manufacturers, silicon vendors, mobile PC manufacturers and handheld device developers, consumer electronics manufacturers, car manufacturers, and test and measurement equipment manufacturers.

IrDA

-------------------------------------------------

The second type of wireless technology standard that I'm going to be discussing is IrDA.  The acronym IrDA stands for the Infrared Data Association. IrDA uses a series of infrared data pulses to transfer data from one device to another. Because IrDA devices use infrared light, the communicating devices must be in direct line of sight with one another.  The original IrDA was designed to operate at at a speed of 115200 bps. Although now you can purchase and install an IrDA-based network, which is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 4 megabits per second (Mbps), because...
