Bluetooth Is Not Just for Headsets
With cable-and-wire spaghetti proliferating in and around our homes and offices, threatening to consume our devices and us in the end, it may be time to take a look at Bluetooth wireless technology, which is great if you can get it to work.
Wire management in the financial trading floor school of thought consists of filling raised flooring with cables progressively until the voids are full -- and then moving the operation to new premises and starting again, with new and resultant reduced wires. Nice idea.
Bluetooth ApplicationsHeadsets protruding awkwardly from an ear is the typical Bluetooth image that comes to mind. However, there are other common wire-reducing applications, like file transfer and music distribution.
More unusual applications include data tracking -- like a planned Bluetooth-enabled data tracking pressure sensor in Nike (NYSE: NKE) training shoes and an upcoming Bluetooth toothbrush.
