Introduction

Bluetooth MultiPort Module is HP's Bluetooth communications implementation that provides wireless connectivity to other devices, by using the Bluetooth wireless technology. MultiPort provides a flexible interface to integrate Bluetooth into HP notebooks, with the added benefit of leaving the PC Card and Mini PCI slots available for other technologies. In addition, the unique design and placement of MultiPort greatly reduces noise susceptibility and prevents signal strength degradation while increasing radio coverage. MultiPort is fully compliant with the Bluetooth 1.1 protocol specification.
Profile Support:
General Access Profile
