Piconet

Piconet

The original Piconet was a USB-style expansion port on RM Nimbus computers.

These days, a piconet is an ad-hoc computer network of devices using Bluetooth technology protocols to allow one "master" device to interconnect with up to seven active "slave" devices (because a three-bit MAC address is used). Up to 255 further slave devices can be inactive, or "parked", which the master device can bring into active status at any time.

A piconet typically has a range of about 10 m and a transfer rate between about 400 and 700 kbit/s, depending on whether synchronous or asynchronous connection is used.
