Local Connectivity Solution over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

In this paper a local connectivity solution is presented in which smart phones and PDA-s can connect to the enterprise intranet using either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi proximity networking via access points. The contribution highlights the differences at various levels of the implementation between the Bluetooth-based and Wi-Fi based components in our attempt to create a unified service level for Bluetooth-based, Wi-Fi based and both Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi based terminals (newer generation smart phones). Finally use cases and a list of applications are presented that can benefit from our solution in the enterprise segment.
