Liberate your desktop

We live in an age of fast-paced technological innovation that has spawned a wide variety of products designed to help us tap into the information we need, whenever we need it. Your computer has become the hub that connects to an increasingly broad array of products, such as your keyboard, mouse, printer, mobile phone, PDA, and scanner. The problem is, every product you connect comes with its own cables, and products don't always communicate with your computer seamlessly.

You can decrease those connectivity hassles with Bluetooth—one of the most advanced wireless technologies available today. Microsoft keyboard and mouse products that use Bluetooth let you wirelessly synchronize and transfer files, music, and pictures between compatible products, eliminating cables and clutter from your desktop. Just plug the Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth into your computer's USB port, and it can communicate with up to seven compatible Bluetooth products at the same time. No wires, no confusion, no problem.

Liberate your desktop

Bluetooth technology offers longer range connectivity than most other wireless solutions. For example, if your desktop is too crowded, you can put your printer in another room, up to 30 feet away from the wireless transceiver. And, you'll benefit from wireless security that's beyond what's available in standard wireless devices (in technical terms, two-way 128-bit authentication, variable encryption key size, and a virtual cable function). Microsoft products that use Bluetooth wireless technology offer a convenient, reliable, and secure solution that doesn't keep you tethered to your desktop.

Access digital media throughout your home

Bluetooth offers so much more than better productivity. With a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you can also command your home entertainment center from up to 30 feet away. That means you can store all your digital music, movies, photos, and TV in one convenient, secure place, then access it wirelessly from the comfort of your couch.

Imagine a cable-free future

The latest Bluetooth products from Microsoft support wireless connections to devices that use the Serial Port profile (SPP), the Object Push profile (OPP), and the Personal Area Network User profile (PANU). This additional profile support means you can connect a wider variety of wireless products, including Pocket PCs, mobile phones, and printers.

And you can be sure that Bluetooth technology will be around in the future—its wireless protocol is standardized, providing compatibility now and in the future.

Bluetooth technology has the potential to replace even more of the cables that add clutter to your life. Imagine cameras, speakers, and headphones that work together without wires. Think about hands-free computing when you're on the road. With Bluetooth, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Since introducing its first Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in 2002, Microsoft has been committed to Bluetooth technology and the way it helps make your everyday computer experience extraordinary.
