Bluetooth wireless technology is a cable replacement technology
that provides wireless communication between portable devices, desktop
devices and peripherals. It is used to swap data and synchronize files
between devices without having to connect each other with cable. The
wireless link has a range of 10m which offers the user mobility. There is
no need for the user to open an application or press button to initiate a
process. Bluetooth wireless technology is always on and runs in the
background. Bluetooth devices scan for other Bluetooth devices and when
these devices are in range they start to exchange messages so they can
become aware of each others capabilities. These devices do not require a
line of sight to transmit data with each other. Within a few years about
80 percent of the mobile phones are expected to carry the Bluetooth chip.
The Bluetooth transceiver operates in the globally available unlicensed
ISM radio band of 2.4GHz, which do not require operator license from a
regulatory agency. This means that Bluetooth technology can be used
virtually anywhere in the world. Bluetooth is an economical, wireless
solution that is convenient, reliable, and easy to use and operates over a
longer distance.
The
initial development started in 1994 by Ericsson. Bluetooth now has a
special interest group (SIG) which has 1800 companies worldwide. Bluetooth
technology enables voice and data transmission in a short-range radio.
There is a wide range of devises which can be connected easily and quickly
without the need for cables. Soon people world over will enjoy the
convenience, speed and security of instant wireless connection. Bluetooth
is expected to be embedded in hundreds of millions mobile phones, PCs,
laptops and a whole range of other electronic devices in the next few
years. This is mainly because of the elimination of cables and this makes
the work environment look and feel comfortable and inviting.
