What is Bluetooth Technology? |
|
Bluetooth Definition
| Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows computers, phones and other devices to talk to each other over short distances (typically about 10 meters). Bluetooth uses radio waves (in the 2.4 Gigahertz range), and is designed to be a secure and inexpensive way of connecting and exchanging information between devices without wires. |

How does bluetooth work?
Bluetooth is similar to short range radio.
A Bluetooth device playing the role of the "master" can communicate with up to 7 devices playing the role of the "slave". This network of "group of up to 8 devices" (1 master + 7 slaves) is called a piconet. At any given time, data can be transferred between the master and 1 slave; but the master switches rapidly from slave to slave in a round-robin fashion
Why Bluetooth?
 The need for a cheap, standardised communication method prompted the invention of Bluetooth. Rather than each manufacturer making their own standards, and therefore only being able to connect certain products with each other, the Bluetooth standard is global. This means that any Bluetooth-compatible device made by any manyufacturer will communicate with any other Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth Advantages
- Fast wireless data transfers
- Ability to communicate with devices that are not in a direct line of site.
- Cheap componements
- Lots of combatabe device like bluetooth headsets, phones & printers etc etc
Here's an example of some of the things you can do with today's Bluetooth:
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Connect wirelessly to a printer with Bluetooth wireless technology to easily print copies of your documents |
Stay linked to your LAN via a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled network access point to access emails, Internet and shared data |
Email anywhere via Bluetooth wireless technology by connecting your laptop or Pocket PC to your mobile phone |
Synchronize data quickly and wirelessly between your Pocket PC, phone, and computer using Bluetooth |
 |
 |
 |
|
| Use Bluetooth wireless technology in test or manufacturing to control and monitor equipment |
Create instant ad-hoc networks to share files and information |
Connect to the Internet easily from home with
a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled broadband modem |
|
Bluetooth future
In the future, Bluetooth is likely to be standard in tens of millions of mobile phones, PCs, laptops and a whole range of other electronic devices. The possibilities opened up really are limitless, and because the radio frequency used is globally available, Bluetooth can offer fast and secure access to wireless connectivity all over the world. With potential like that, it's no wonder that Bluetooth is set to become the fastest adopted technology in history.
