# Product Description

## Overview

The Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® Technology allows a wireless connection to a computer using a variety of Bluetooth devices, such as mobile phones, ear buds, stereo headsets, smart handhelds, printers, digital cameras and more. Using the Bluetooth software you can share files, listen to music, place voice calls and use Bluetooth printers.

With the Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® Technology, connecting using Bluetooth is simple and intuitive, by tracking all connected devices and connecting to them automatically, but it also allows for manual adjustments when needed.

To minimize power consumption, the Wi-Fi radio will be used to perform Bluetooth High Speed connections only when it detects that a high speed connection is needed for a bulk data transfer.

For more information about supported Operation systems and adapters see Intel® Wireless Products.
