• Cheaper compared to the IEEE802.11b wireless LAN.
• Many protocols for infrared transmission (IrDA) can be used with Bluetooth.
• A Bluetooth device can connect to other Bluetooth devices without any settings.

Piconet:
Bluetooth devices communicate with each other device in the ad hoc mode. This
network is called a "Piconet". A Piconet may contain a maximum of 8 Bluetooth
devices.
There is one master device and seven slave devices in a Piconet. The master
device controls the hopping frequency and timing, as well as storing the ID codes
of the slave devices. The master and slave devices can be swapped. Once the
master device leaves the Piconet, a slave device becomes the new master.
Machines with the Bluetooth option become potential slave devices to connect to
the PC.
FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum):
The Bluetooth device divides 2402 to 2480 MHz into 79 channels of 1 MHz width,
and changes the channel 1600 times per second. If other devices in the LAN are
using the same radio band, Bluetooth can avoid interference from the other devices.
