The module in the article is what is called a Bluetooth modem. Bluetooth is 
a RF link in the 2.4 GHz range. It is bidirection also. Typical setup is a 
host/server and several slave/client devices. Bluetooth has security in that 
a pass phrase can be implemented so that only specific devices can login 
to the host server. 

Bluetooth has beenaround for better than ten years now and is gaining 
popularity along with it's competitor Zigbee.
