12.9 Summary


Bluetooth technological merits are quickly catching up in the industry and the marketplace . It is estimated that over 100 million units with Bluetooth radio will be shipped in 2003 by various device manufacturers (and about 1 billion by 2006). As of this writing, there are numerous Bluetooth-enabled devices that are already available on the market. Ericsson, one of the founders of the technology, showed its commitment by integrating this technology with some mobile phones and headsets and by developing PC cards for the laptops. Desktop, laptop, and PDA manufacturers have integrated the Bluetooth radio into their product lines.

As more and more applications are supported by the technology, Bluetooth will be integrated into more and more devices. Hence, the Bluetooth SIG focuses on developing as many application profiles as possible and ensuring the interoperability between them.
