Just about anyone with a cell phone knows exactly what Bluetooth is. It’s that wireless thing that lets you hang a headset on your ear that makes you look either incredibly cool or like a cheap imitation of those Star Trek characters.
Bluetooth is a wireless standard, named for the 10th century Danish king who unified Denmark. It was originally intended as a replace for computer connections, but rapidly found a home in cell phones.
We’re now seeing the latest evolution in Bluetooth wireless technology, called “Low Energy.” Bluetooth LE will enable a plethora of new applications – some not even possible or imagined today – in many markets including healthcare, sports and fitness, security, and home entertainment.
A conference featuring Bluetooth LE will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara, CA on March 2nd, providing developers and press the latest updates and product announcements. It’s a must for anyone in the wireless market wanting to expand their customer reach. We’ll be there: will you?
