Bluetooth is a convergence technology. It unites previously disparate fields to create new added value applications. As these disparate fields come together, there is a need for workers in one from each individual technical field to acquaint themselves with the fundamentals of their new partner technologies & fields. The occasional "New to" stream aims to help delegates understand the fundamentals of new technology fields through the use of tutorial lectures and panel sessions.
