Bluetooth is an
open wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances
(using short length radio waves) from fixed and mobile devices,
creating personal area networks (PANs). It was originally conceived
as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect
several devices, overcoming problems of synchronisation.

The LowStir
Mk.1's bulky cabled connection. The Mk.2 does not require any of the
connection apparatus to the left of the Mk.1, and forms a single,
self-contained unit.

The addition of Bluetooth
technology to the Mk.2 LowStir unit eliminates the need for the Mk.1
LowStir's two communications modules, the connecting cable, and the
substantial support structure for that cable. This has resulted in
the Mk.2 being a much smaller, self-contained unit. It also adds to
the flexibility of the destination computer, as it is no longer
bound by a physical connection. In fact, a laptop with a Bluetooth
connection can even be moved without breaking the connection, adding
a greater convenience within the working environment.
