Bluetooth tips for businesses

Businesses should always find a way of boosting productivity through technology. Although humans can still improve in their productivity, technology will ease some of their tasks which will make them concentrate on more important functions. One of those technologies that should be harnessed by businesses is Bluetooth - a wireless data transfer protocol that will ease communication and other functions.

Most see Bluetooth as a device used mainly for mobile phone headsets. While Bluetooth is undoubtedly popular as a wireless headset device, there are other users for Bluetooth that has been proven efficient for businesses.

Ease in File Transfer

File transfer could always be done online or through LAN (Local Area Network) but when LAN is not available and data transfer online is very expensive. Bluetooth could become the protocol of choice. Bluetooth devices could transfer files without any problem. This is ideal when you are on the road and you need to transfer or receive files from a client or a business partner.

Access to Other Devices

Aside from using Bluetooth for file transfer, the device could also be used to connect to other devices without any cord. For example, you can have wireless keyboards and headsets in your computer for VOIP with the use of Bluetooth.

Security Concerns and Limitations

On the other hand, there are limitations that should be tackled constantly by Bluetooth users. The maximum transfer rate of Bluetooth is only at 1Mbps which is significantly lower. Bluetooth based attacks such as anonymous sending of documents with viruses should also be a point of concern. But these could be addressed as long as the user is conscious of other users and limiting access to recognized devices only.
