The WCS-232 from SystemBase converts an RS232 signal to a wireless Bluetooth signal. If both ends of the communication link use a WCS-232 device, then a complete wireless data communication link will be available.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The Bluetooth specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other. The key features of Bluetooth are robustness, low power, and low cost. A fundamental Bluetooth wireless technology strength is the ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions.
In the WCS-232, portability is maximised so that it can be applied to a PC, laptop, PDA, etc. It is fully-compatible with the serial COM port of a PC.
