Worldwide Computer Products News-7 April 2000-i-data to launch Bluetooth-based wireless printing (C)1995-2000 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Bluetooth technology is to be integrated into i-data international's Xpress LAN range of printservers to enable wireless printing.

The company is currently developing a Bluetooth protocol stack which will become a standard component of the printserver series and will also be sold to the company's business partners and OEM customers.

The protocol will allow business travellers using a Bluetooth-enabled laptop, personal digital assistant or cellular phone to print documents to any printer incorporating i-data's Xpress LAN printing server without the need for cables, complicated printing configuration adjustments or special software.

Printservers with the Bluetooth protocol stack are expected to become available from 3Q'2000.
