<\/span>Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI) driver<\/a> is intended to provide support for Bluetooth communication using the RFCOMM – Radio Frequency Communication protocol, mainly for serial data exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RFCOMM normally works like a serial port over Bluetooth, allowing the easy connect of Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones, printers, and some peripherals with the Windows PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Usage:<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RFCOMM Protocol TDI driver allows wireless transfer of data by providing virtual serial connections between Bluetooth devices and the computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very handy for those devices using serial data protocols, therefore making it versatile in performing tasks that range from sending of files, sharing of data to even connecting to older devices using serial communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
