Bluetooth.
It is a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology and is used for exchanging data
over smaller distances using radio communication technology
It operates in the unlicensed, industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band at 2.4 GHz to
2.485 GHz.
Maximum devices that can be connected at the same time are 7.
Bluetooth ranges up to 10 meters.
It provides data rates up to 1 Mbps or 3 Mbps depending upon the version.
The spreading technique which it uses is FHSS (Frequency hopping spread spectrum).

Bluetooth Architecture
Two types of network topologies in Bluetooth viz. Piconet and scatternet
Piconet is formed by (1) master and one slave (2) one master and multiple slaves.
Piconet consists of one primary (master) node and seven active secondary (slave)
nodes, only one primary or master station in each piconet.
piconet can have upto eight active nodes (1 master and 7 slaves) or stations within the
distance of 10 meters.
• Station or node receive messages from the master in the first piconet and
deliver to its slaves in other piconet where it is acting as master. This node is

IEEE 802.15.1 standard describes bluetooth specifications
RF Frequency 2.4GHz
Advantages:
Low cost.
Easy to use.
It can also penetrate through walls.
It creates an adhoc connection immediately without any wires.
It is used for voice and data transfer.
Disadvantages:
It can be hacked and hence, less secure.
It has slow data transfer rate: 3 Mbps.
It has small range: 10 meters.
