It is typically used for short burst communications instead of a continuous connection. Because of this difference, Bluetooth is more typically found supported in wireless phones and personal devices. Bluetooth for Java is not an overview of Bluetooth. In the book, Bruce Hopkins and Ranjith Antony describe how to develop wireless Java applications using Bluetooth for a variety of platforms. This includes an API overview of the Java library, development of Bluetooth-based services, highlights of security concerns, and walkthroughs for development with some of the different tools available. Programs will not be jus...

Bluetooth technology is becoming a popular way to furnish short-range wireless interconnectivity as an alternative to existing wire applications or as an enabling technology for new ones. With the number of Bluetooth-equipped consumer and industry devices rapidly increasing, it stands on the threshold of global deployment. This first of its kind book, from expert authors actively contributing to the evolution of Bluetooth, provides an overview and detailed description of all the security functions and features of this technology's latest core release....

Unlike most other references on the market, this next-generation resource goes well beyond Bluetooth specifications and thoroughly examines different implementation approaches - as taught by a "master instructor." This book discusses Bluetooth in detail, covering both operational characteristics as well as its use as a wireless communications system. It addresses the coexistence of Bluetooth with other wireless networks and provides information on the significant security problems that exist when communicating without wires. It is based on 2 very popular and highly effective courses the author has been teaching for more than a year....
