This course is designed to provide an in depth overview of a low power 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.

Course Objectives:

After this training participants will be able to:

• Have a working knowledge of bluetooth protocol stack and profiles.(Bluetooth specification v2.0)
• Understand how wireless communications can be used to benefit their business
• Be aware of the features and functions of voice and data networks
• Recognize the capabilities of and applications for wireless PANs

• Non-technical personnel who wish to understand bluetooth and desire to develop a general appreciation for the challenges and solutions in the bluetooth arena. (Line and staff management, contract and personnel supervisors, marketing and sales employees, finance specialists…).
• Technical personnel will develop an understanding of the core blueooth specification, challenges and features developed to provide acceptable wireless communication in practical environments. (Technical staff and managers, engineers, technicians, system administrators…).
