TODAY when you think about wireless connections, you do not have to look further than Bluetooth Wireless Connection.

Bluetooth wireless connection is the latest wireless technology to help users do away with lots of dangling wires while transferring data from one device to another.

Joseph Bigirwa, an information technology administrator on clement Hill, agrees that the Bluetooth function comes to save us from the limited connection length of wires from one device to another.

Though recent laptop computers come with their inbuilt Bluetooth function, you can also add this function to your personal computer (PC) with a Billionton Bluetooth adapter.

A Billionton Bluetooth adapter is a small flash disk-like gadget with a two inch adjustable plastic antenna. It is also V2.0 compliant, meaning it can work in the common PC USB ports.

How it works
When inserted in the PC’s USB port and the antenna raised, you are prompted to run the software CD Rom it comes with so as to install the drivers using the quick step by step start guide.

After the installation, the PC user is able to see all the Bluetooth activated devices in the range of 100 metres on the PC monitor without connecting any wires to them.

For instance, if you have a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, you run its software CD Rom (for example the Nokia PC suite) in the pc.

When the phone’s Bluetooth function is turned on, the PC detects it and then you can be able to transfer MP3 music files and MPEG videos, JPG pictures straight to your mobile phone.

Besides you can even listen to local music playlists on your PC through Bluetooth wireless headphones while hundred metres away from your PC or mobile phone.

More so, you can synchronise your mobile phone with your PC where you could access your pc data on your mobile phone.

The devices include speakers, television sets, headphones and car accessories. With the Billionton Bluetooth adapter fitted to your PC, you not only enjoy using the many enable electronics, but also enjoy a wireless internet connection where you can browse the web, send and receive emails.

To equip your PC with the Bluetooth adapter, you only need to part with sh40,000. You can buy the Bluetooth adapter from shops around town.
