A method of establishing a wireless communications link for communicating with a remote device, the method comprising: discovering the existence of the remote device within a coverage area through a first short-range communications interface, the first short-range communications interface configured to communicate over a first short-range communications link according to a Bluetooth communication protocol; the method being characterised in that it further comprises the steps of: in response to determining through the first short-range communications link that the remote device is capable of communicating over a second short-range communications link byway of exchanging information with the remote device across the first short-range communications link by exchanging one or more messages according to the Bluetooth communication protocol to determine features supported by said remote device, transmitting a request through the first short-range communications link to the remote device, wherein the request includes one or more parameters regarding the second short-range communications link so that the remote device can configure itself to communicate over said second short-range communications link based on said parameters, wherein the request asks the remote device whether it desires to establish the second communications link; receiving an acknowledgement from the remote device through the first communications link, the acknowledgement indicating that the remote device desires to establish the second communications link; activating a second short-range communications interface, the second short-range communications interface configured to communicate over the second short-range communication link according to a second short-range communications protocol, to establish the second short-range communications link with the remote device;and communicating with the remote device across the second short-range communications link, wherein the first short-range communications link is a Bluetooth link and the second short-range communications link comprises either an ultra wideband link or a high bit-rate link. discovering the existence of the remote device within a coverage area through a first short-range communications interface, the first short-range communications interface configured to communicate over a first short-range communications link according to a Bluetooth communication protocol; the method being characterised in that it further comprises the steps of: in response to determining through the first short-range communications link that the remote device is capable of communicating over a second short-range communications link byway of exchanging information with the remote device across the first short-range communications link by exchanging one or more messages according to the Bluetooth communication protocol to determine features supported by said remote device, transmitting a request through the first short-range communications link to the remote device, wherein the request includes one or more parameters regarding the second short-range communications link so that the remote device can configure itself to communicate over said second short-range communications link based on said parameters, wherein the request asks the remote device whether it desires to establish the second communications link; receiving an acknowledgement from the remote device through the first communications link, the acknowledgement indicating that the remote device desires to establish the second communications link; activating a second short-range communications interface, the second short-range communications interface configured to communicate over the second short-range communication link according to a second short-range communications protocol, to establish the second short-range communications link with the remote device;and communicating with the remote device across the second short-range communications link, wherein the first short-range communications link is a Bluetooth link and the second short-range communications link comprises either an ultra wideband link or a high bit-rate link.
