Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs), also known as IEEE 802.15.1. Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles such as the Nintendo Wii via a secure, globally unlicensed short range radio frequency.
The name Bluetooth is derived from the cognomen of a 10th century king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth. According to the inventors of the Bluetooth technology, Harald engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other, making Bluetooth a fitting name for their technology, which allows different devices to talk to each other.[1]. The name of the king in Danish was Harald Blåtand and the Bluetooth logo is based on the H and B runes.

Bluetooth wireless technology overviewBluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables between devices, such as printers, keyboards, and mice.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates over a short distance. Bluetooth devices use radio transmission, which enables computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice, and other devices to communicate with each other without cables.
There are several uses for Bluetooth wireless technology, including, but not limited to:
Creating a wireless connection to the Internet with a mobile phone or a modem server.
Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device.
Printing to a Bluetooth wireless printer.
Using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse.
Joining a personal area network (PAN).
Synchronizing a personal digital assistant (PDA) to a computer or another device using Bluetooth wireless technology.
The data transfer speed for Bluetooth wireless technology can be up to 700 kilobits (Kbps) per second. The data transfer speed can vary depending on the device or environmental factors. A Bluetooth device can transmit through walls, pockets, and briefcases.
Bluetooth devices transmit on the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) radio frequency. Devices that transmit on that frequency might not be appropriate or permitted in certain locations, such as hospitals or airplanes. If you are in a potentially sensitive area and you want to use a computer or device using Bluetooth wireless technology, check with the staff to ensure that you can do so.

Bluetooth technology is how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), not to mention a broad selection of other devices, can be easily interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Using this technology, users can have all mobile and fixed computer devices be totally coordinated.
