As
Bluetooth technology becomes more popular, the uses for this
technology have increased over the years. Today, there are many ways
that people use Bluetooth in their everyday lives to help stay
connected to the office, create a safer environment when driving,
and as a way to create a more organized work environment.
In
order to take advantage of Bluetooth, you must purchase devices that
have Bluetooth capabilities. Common devices include:
-
Cell phones
-
PDA’s
-
iPods
-
Printers
-
Digital cameras
With
Bluetooth, you will be able to download information from one to
device to another, share information, and reduce the amount of space
needed for equipment in your office.
BLUETOOTH IN THE OFFICE
In
addition to creating a wireless environment in the office, other
uses for Bluetooth include:
-
File transfer
– with file transfer options, you can send information stored on
one computer in the office to another, transfer information from
your cell phone or PDA, camera, or other device that has
Bluetooth capabilities
-
Wireless equipment
– create a wireless environment with mice, keyboards, headsets,
printers, and other office equipment that has Bluetooth
capabilities
Using
Bluetooth can help employees stay in contact when out of the office,
help improve organization, and allow departments to share
information with other departments without having to print it off or
sending it through the Intranet.
BLUETOOTH AT HOME
An
increasing number of people are now taking advantage of Bluetooth
technology at home as well. Many people have home offices which they
use on the weekends or when working from home. Devices that can be
found in a home office include:
-
Remote controls
-
Wireless keyboards, mice, and headsets
-
Wireless devices for cell phones such as
hands-free rear view mirror devices
-
GPS receivers with Bluetooth technology for
downloading maps from home computers
Another
way people are using Bluetooth technology is by creating hands-free
environments that allow them to use their cell phones safely without
having the distraction of dialing or holding the phone while
driving.
ORGANIZING YOUR OFFICE
If your
home office is small, consider buying Bluetooth devices to save
room. Not only will you save space by reducing the wires needed, you
can also use equipment only when you need it and put it away
afterwards.
Another
way to stay organized is to keep printers and other equipment on
shelves instead of on your desk. You won’t need to rewire your
office, simply hang some shelves that are strong enough to hold a
printer, camera equipment, and other devices.
Since
Bluetooth works on a short frequency (about 30ft.), you should make
sure that all equipment is placed in an open space. Furniture,
doors, and other objects can sometimes block the frequency. You may
need to move equipment around in the space until finding the right
spots.
Once
you have created a home office that uses Bluetooth, you can always
add additional equipment later on.
