Si la fonction principale d’un adaptateur Bluetooth consiste à donner une dimension sans fil à divers équipements multimédia, les applications possibles par la suite dépendent du type de dongle utilisé. Il existe en effet sur le marché deux principales familles d’adaptateurs : les émetteurs et les récepteurs. Certains modèles combinent toutefois ces deux fonctionnalités. 2, record 2, French, - adaptateur%20Bluetooth
