Topic: Bluetooth Wireless Technology Speaker: Jamel Lynch, IBM Abstract: This seminar is designed to provide an overview of a low power emerging wireless technology. Learn and explore Bluetooth, an open specification for short-range wireless voice and data communications. Originally designed as a cable replacement technology, Bluetooth permits the ad hoc creation of Personal Area Networks (PAN), where many small devices such as PDAs, computers, printers, and cellular phones interact to provide telephony, network, and other specialized solutions. Learn how Bluetooth can potentially free your work and personal space from expensive cables in various usage models. Several working Bluetooth demonstrations are planned including a Bluetooth headset, printer, mouse, and cellular phone. Mr Lynch will also discuss emerging wireless technology.
