Bluetooth

BLUETOOTH is the most commonly used name now a days, as it is now the most unavoidable part of mobile phones. The name Bluetooth came from a Swedish word. Bluetooth logo is bind rune merging with German rune.

        AS said earlier it uses radio technology. Bluetooth chops the data before getting sent it and converts to normal data after got reached in the appropriate destination in a definite frequency. It can exchange data between the devices like digital cameras, mobile phones, telephones, laptops, personal computers, printers, global positioning system receivers etc.

It is the well known wireless electronic protocol used for transferring data in between shortest distances from fixed and mobile services. It uses radio waves for the transmission creating PERSONAL AREA NETWORKS (PAN). Actually it was conceived as a wireless alternative to RS232 port. The most notable feature of Bluetooth is, it is able to connect several different devices to it overcoming the problems of synchronization.

Bluetooth specifications are made by Bluetooth Special Interest Group (BSIG). Actually Bluetooth firstly designed for low power consumption and low distance data transfer. Suddenly I made a new boom in the market since it is very cheaper and handy. But later the distance in between the data transfer got varied. Mostly they are divided into three different classes depends on its range. Class 1 can exchange data within a range less than 100m, Class 2’s range is less than 22m and class 3 ranges upto 6m. Bluetooth has two versions also. It is version 1.2 and version 2.0 + EDR.

Bluetooth finds application in the fields of Wireless control and communication, wireless networking between PC’s, transfer of files, contact details, for controlling the vast use of infrared, to provide wireless bridge between Ethernet networks etc.

Bluetooth was developed in 1994 by Jaap Haartsen and Sven Mattisson who were the workers of SONY ERICCSON Mobile platforms. Bluetooth had come across various changes and new updations. Bluetooth versions like Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 1.1, Bluetooth 1.2, Bluetooth 2.0, Bluetooth 2.1, and Bluetooth 3.0 are the best examples for this change. Each of these is updated in quality and process depending on the needs of people.
