The 3Com Wireless Bluetooth PC Card allows mobile users to instantly share information (such as data files, text documents and contact lists) among Bluetooth-enabled personal devices, including notebooks, desktop PCs, cell phones and handhelds.
As one of nine promoter-companies in the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, 3Com has been a driving force in determining the latest industry-standard Bluetooth specifications.
3Com’s Wireless Bluetooth PC Card is among the first to market based on the new Bluetooth 1.1 specification, which includes a number of enhancements to the original 1.0 specification and is intended to ensure compatibility among Bluetooth products regardless of the vendor.
"The simple ad hoc nature of Bluetooth connections is ideal for personal devices such as mobile phones and PDAs, and is also a perfect complement to the inherent structure of a local area network (either wired or wireless) for computing devices like laptops. Bluetooth is an integral component of 3Com’s complete communications solutions that enable simple, reliable and secure mobile connectivity," said Rick Maule, vice president and general manager of 3Com’s Mobile Connectivity Division.
"3Com’s Bluetooth products demonstrate our solid heritage in serving the connectivity needs of the mobile worker, and with our distribution channels, we will be a powerful force in placing standards-based Bluetooth products in the hands of consumer, road warrior and enterprise customers," he added.
