Bluetooth technology
2
Bluetooth® technology is a standard for short-range wireless technology. It enables two devices to communicate using radio
waves that operate at 2.4 GHz. A BlackBerry® device that uses Bluetooth technology can open a wireless connection with
other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as hands-free car kits or headsets, that are within a 10 m range.
The wireless industry considers Bluetooth technology to be a nonsecure channel. If Bluetooth technology is implemented
incorrectly, using it might introduce security vulnerabilities into your organization's network.
Bluetooth profiles
Bluetooth® profiles specify how applications on BlackBerry® devices and on Bluetooth enabled devices connect and are
interoperable. Bluetooth profiles provide use-case scenarios and information about how to configure applications that are
interoperable. Many Bluetooth profiles are available for implementation.
Bluetooth profiles that BlackBerry devices support
Bluetooth® enabled BlackBerry® devices currently support Bluetooth profiles and provide specific IT policy rules to control
their use.
Profile
Description
A2DP
This profile defines how a BlackBerry device can send and receive audio in an
audio stream format for two-channel stereo over a Bluetooth connection to
another Bluetooth enabled device.
You can use the Disable Advanced Audio Distribution Profile IT policy rule to
specify whether to prevent the BlackBerry device from using this profile.
AVRCP
This profile defines how a Bluetooth enabled device controls audio/video
functionality on a BlackBerry device.
You can use the Disable Audio/Video Remote Control Profile IT policy rule to
specify whether to prevent the BlackBerry device from using this profile.
DUN
This profile is based on the SPP and allows a BlackBerry device to access dial-
up services, such as the Internet, using Bluetooth technology.
You can use the Disable Dial-up Networking IT policy rule to specify whether to
prevent the BlackBerry device from using this profile.
