How to make Bluetooth play well in the enterprise

Bluetooth technology arrived awhile ago, but there are still a few hurdles before IT leaders can cement it into today's enterprises. The main obstacle is the fact that the majority of Bluetooth products don't play well with other Bluetooth-enabled devices and add-ons. For IT support teams, it brings a complexity that may not yet be worth the time and trouble. Trying to mesh a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with a Bluetooth enabled PC may sound easy, but it's more than likely that it can't happen thanks to various protocol support issues. One successful approach is dumping any old Bluetooth capability and going with a new-fangled USB dongle, but if you're supporting a Windows environment beware that this will mean some heavy lifting as the Registry is altered with Windows support. As one expert notes, if you need to pull Bluetooth into the mix, find the most compatible dongle and make it your enterprise standard. Just be prepared to pull it out and plug in a new dongle as new technology evolves. Article
