An apparatus, method and system to extend the range of effective communication as between Bluetooth enabled devices. A Bluetooth repeater may receive Bluetooth communications from an originating Bluetooth enabled device within range and then forward the same data to an intended recipient that was outside the range of the originating Bluetooth enabled device. In one embodiment, the data is forwarded with minor modifications to the source address so that subsequent message replies will be sent to the Bluetooth repeater for forwarding to the proper message originator. Source, destination, and repeater transceiver addresses are stored in the translation database to insure proper forwarding of Bluetooth messages between out of range Bluetooth devices.
