Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables links between mobile computers, mobile phones, portable handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet. Bluetooth attempts to solve the problem of having many proprietary systems trying to talk to each other to form a small, wireless network. Conveniently, Bluetooth does not require 'line of sight' thus allowing devices to communicate with each other through barriers such as 'pockets' and around corners within a range of a few meters.

The obvious advantage to Bluetooth is streamlining the communication between BOX products, sensors, machines, control systems and engineers in a local environment, without having to install wiring.
