Bluetooth End to End is a comprehensive look at the technology from the standpoint of the IT Professional. The book goes above and beyond a simple re-hashing of the specification to provide practical implementation information on Bluetooth technology application fundamentals, implementation, wireless networking, Bluetooth security considerations, chip technology and the required specifications for Bluetooth device development culled from networking professionals.

Bluetooth End to End has a special section dedicated to Bluetooth security considerations.

Bluetooth End to End is being done in the End to End series, a new series dedicated to cutting-edge technologies designed to provide proven solutions, real-world tips and best practices. The End to End series takes a no "techno-babble" modular approach in explaining cutting edge wireless technology. Special features include case studies, real-life implementations and wireless decision tree.
