Ubicom has released a reference design based on its software-based implementation of a Bluetooth wireless technology Ethernet access point An Ethernet access point allows mobile users to connect to LANs and the Internet without taking any action of their own

Users of such devices as PDAs, mobile phones, and laptop computers that are equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology can automatically be connected to a wired network any time they come within range of an access device, known as the "hot spot".

The access point device senses the presence of the mobile unit and immediately performs all of the connection and synchronisation activities needed to create a link to a network.
