Bluetooth technology allows two individual devices or machines to create a small private network where the devices can exchange information. This technology is often used to connect headsets to mobile phones, but you can also find it in computers, MP3 players and even televisions. If a machine, like a computer, doesn’t have Bluetooth technology installed, you can insert a Bluetooth dongle, which is a small adapter that plugs into a port on the machine and will provide a Bluetooth connection that the machine can use. Newer Bluetooth dongles don’t need a pairing process, since they just act as a connection point, but older dongles only allowed a headset to connect to the machine they were plugged in to, and would have to be paired with the headset in order to operate.
