Why Sell Bluetooth? It’s official—Bluetooth® wireless is no longer just a novelty used only by fast-talking salespeople on hands-free headsets. With the massive consumer adoption of mobile devices as personal computing technology, Bluetooth has experienced a renaissance. Prolific producers of accessories and devices are inventing endless new uses for the frequency and, with the advent of the improved Bluetooth 4.0 frequency, the prominence of this technology is set to expand rapidly. Per the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (the global trade organization that oversees the development of Bluetooth): • By the end of 2012, more than 9 billion Bluetooth-enabled devices had shipped worldwide, with an additional 2.5 billion forecasted by the end of 2013. • The adoption and market presence of Bluetooth 4.0 is creating a wealth of opportunities across many different industries. • Total shipments of Bluetooth 4.0 devices will grow to 2.9 billion per year by 2016.

Take advantage of this surge towards Bluetooth adoption by sourcing key Bluetooth solutions from The Douglas Stewart Company.
