piconet... bluetooth at its best
You might have heard a lot about bluetooth, but apart from sending files from one cell phone to another or to another computer, has anyone used it for any other purposes? Well piconet is one such thing that has been really picking up and has unleashed the best use of bluetooth devices and technology.
"Piconet" is a combination of the prefix "pico," meaning very small or one trillionth, and network.
Piconet is a network of devices connected in an adhoc fashion using Bluetooth technology. A piconet is formed when at least two devices, such as a portable PC and a cellular phone, connect. When a piconet is formed, one device acts as the master while the others act as slaves for the duration of the piconet connection. Also called as PAN, a piconet can support up to eight devices.
