You may not know it, but you can actually upgrade your laptop or desktop with Bluetooth and use it to send and receive information just like you probably already do with your mobile phones. In fact, it is a very simple process. You will need a small piece of hardware known as a Bluetooth USB Dongle. This is a small device that plugs into any USB port on your computer. Once this is done, you can very easily transfer data from your computer to other Bluetooth-enabled devices, whether they are mobile phones, PDAs, laptops or other computers that have Bluetooth capabilities.
There are very few Bluetooth USB dongle manufacturers out there. One of the most popular is the Dell XPS Gen 2 Bluetooth USB Dongle, which is also a highly rated product. It is a complete plug and play product; all you have to do is plug your device into the USB port and you can share your files via Bluetooth. This product is compatible with XP and Vista editions of Windows. It also works with Windows ME version and earlier version of Windows i.e. 2000. Among non-Windows systems, it is compatible with Macintosh OS 10.2.
Here are some technical specifications of the Dell XPS Gen 2 Bluetooth Dongle:-
- It is a Bluetooth version 2.0 product running on the CSR BlueCore chipset.
- It has a frequency of 2.4 to 2.48 GHz.
- It has a symbol rate of 3 Mbps.
- It comes with a built-in antenna.
- It has a Bluetooth send and receive range of up to 100 feet.
Come to think of it, this is a wonderful product for sending and receiving data without even needing an internet connection. Actually, you can share your Internet from one computer to another with the Bluetooth USB Dongle. The device allows you to easily transfer your files from one Bluetooth-enabled device to another, helping you work more easily. If you have a small workplace with multiple computers, it’s a good idea to have a Dongle for each of them so you can seamlessly transfer data from one computer to another.
