Topic: Bluetooth Wireless Technology
Speaker: Jamel Lynch, IBM

Abstract:
This seminar is designed to provide an overview of a low power
emerging wireless technology. Learn and explore Bluetooth, an open
specification for short-range wireless voice and data communications.
Originally designed as a cable replacement technology, Bluetooth
permits the ad hoc creation of Personal Area Networks (PAN), where
many small devices such as PDAs, computers, printers, and cellular
phones interact to provide telephony, network, and other specialized
solutions. Learn how Bluetooth can potentially free your work and
personal space from expensive cables in various usage models. Several
working Bluetooth demonstrations are planned including a Bluetooth
headset, printer, mouse, and cellular phone.  Mr Lynch will also
discuss emerging wireless technology
