dbus

I am newbie to Android DBUS, recently I was informed that I need to use DBUS to implement Bluetooth in Android, from DBUS documentation I see DBUS is used for communication medium between two applications.

In Android apps -apps communication is through intents, if so why do we need DBUS for Bluetooth ?
Is that DBUS serves as communication medium for networking (IP) between two apps since it is built over sockets?

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong, any more information on DBUS along with Bluetooth implementation in Android is appreciated.

Thanks.
