Bluetooth® complements wireless LAN perfectly by providing a quick and easy way of connecting one Bluetooth®-enabled device to another without going through your network. For example, you could print a document at a satellite office from your laptop to any Bluetooth®-enabled printer within range (Bluetooth®, products work over shorter distances than wireless networks - approximately 10 metres). In addition, by creating a temporary network, (also known as a personal area network - PAN) you can exchange files at informal meetings - say, around a client`s conference table. Put simply, Bluetooth®, provides the opportunity for flexible, spontaneous working, especially if you don`t have the time to connect to a fixed or wireless network.

Testimonials

Sally Flintoff | Consciously Parenting

I've just completed a 6 week recurring teleconference with Greymouse and I am very happy with the service. The sound was clear, the conference control panel easy to use and access to the conference by the participants was simple and seamless.

We experienced a couple of glitches, but these were investigated and rectified as quickly as possible. The support provided was second to none and went well beyond expectations. Overall it is an excellent service that I would recommend without hesitation.

I will definitely be using it again.
