Common use of Wireless Systems Clause in Contracts

Wireless Systems. Bluetooth is one example of a short-range wireless technology that can link appliances and devices together, so that control and communication can be managed remotely. It offers a number of very interesting and important applications for people with disabilities. Small devices that have tiny knobs – mobile phones, hearing aids, pocket calculators etc. – could be controlled from a separate keypad, appropriate to the user’s needs, connected via a Bluetooth link. This is of great significance because the mobile phone itself could replace the remote control for televisions and video recorders. It can provide an interactive channel (for services such as tele shopping) while connecting to the television via Bluetooth (▇▇▇▇, 2004). The use of wireless systems, such as Bluetooth or ZigBee, could also dramatically decrease the cost of installing smart systems in an existing home. Wireless systems also simplify the process of modifying the system when the user’s needs change or a new resident takes over the accommodation. To provide sufficient support to give an older person confidence to continue to live independently may only involve a modest investment, which later can be re-used for another individual (▇▇▇▇, 2004).
