Vendor
A vendor is a company or person that sells goods or services to another company or individual. In manufacturing, they supply raw materials, components, or finished products.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A vendor, also known as a supplier or seller, is an external entity providing products, services, or raw materials to an organization within the supply chain, crucial for manufacturing operations and business continuity.
BACKGROUND
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks (PANs). In the most widely used mode, transmission power is limited to 2.5 milliwatts, giving it a very short range of up to 10 metres (33 ft). It employs UHF radio waves in the ISM bands, from 2.402 GHz to 2.48 GHz. It is mainly used as an alternative to wired connections to exchange files between nearby portable devices and connect cell phones and music players with wireless headphones, wireless speakers, HIFI systems, car audio and wireless transmission between TVs and soundbars.
