Short essay on Bluetooth 1

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that lets you connect computers, mobile phones, and handheld devices to
each other and to the Internet.

Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for the cables that connect devices together. Bluetooth-enabled devices connect
wirelessly within a 10 m range. Bluetooth it's a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly
link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances.

The name Bluetooth is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago. Bluetooth
technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals,
including cell phones, PDAs, and wireless headsets. Wireless signals transmitted with Bluetooth cover short distances,
typically up to 30 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth devices generally communicate at less than 1 Mbps.

Bluetooth is the name of a wireless technology standard for connecting devices, set to replace cables. It uses radio
frequencies in the 2.45 GHz range to transmit information over short distances of generally 10 meters or less. By
embedding a Bluetooth chip and receiver into products, cables that would normally carry the signal can be eliminated.
While entertainment centers, computer systems, handheld PDAs, digital cameras and MP3 players, continue to flourish,
manufacturers and end-users alike are plagued by the growing complexity of connecting devices.

One wireless standard that is already familiar to many is IrDA or infrared. Infrared uses pulses of non-visible light to
communicate between two devices, such as a remote control to a television or DVD player. One drawback of IrDA is that
there must be a clear line of sight between the two devices, and the other disadvantage is that IrDA normally only operates
between two devices at a time. An infrared remote control unit cannot communicate with the DVD player while it is
signaling the TV. Bluetooth overcomes these limitations by using radio waves to send information in packet bursts. The
bursts can be sent to any device within 'earshot' allowing communication with several devices at once.

With the popularity of PDA-type products many have come to dread the bane of synchronizing with their computer
systems. Cradles, cables, and sometimes luck is needed to ensure a success. Bluetooth technology eliminates this hassle, as
the enabled devices easily recognize each other and communicate spontaneously. Bluetooth devices in the house are always
communicating with one another as long as they are powered on. Each device sends out a signal, received by the other
devices that are sending out their own signals. The devices scan all signals to see if any are addressing it. In this way,
Bluetooth creates a personal-area network (PAN) in the home and the user is not required to do anything special to get the
devices to speak to one another. They operate in a perpetual interactive mode by default.

Short essay on Bluetooth 2

Bluetooth is a protocol for wireless communication over short distances. It was developed in the 1990s, to reduce the
number of cables. Devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles can
connect to each other, and exchange information. This is done using radio waves. It can be done securely. Bluetooth is
only used for relatively short distances, like a few metres.
There are different standards. Data rates vary. Currently, they are at 1-3 MBit per second. Typical Bluetooth applications
are to connect a headset to a mobile phone, or to connect a computer mouse, keyboard or printer.

Bluetooth devices use the ISM Band around 2.4 GHz. This can be used worldwide, without the need to pay license fees,
but many other devices, like DECT telephones (wireless phones), smart tags with RFID, baby phones use it too. Bluetooth
uses the same bands as some WLANs, but the modulation technique is different. Bluetooth uses Frequency-hopping
spread spectrum

Short essay on Bluetooth 3

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio
waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs).
Invented by telecom vendor Ericsson in 1994. it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It
can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization.The word Bluetooth is an anglicized version of the
Scandinavian Bl??tand/Bl??tann, (Old Norse bl??t??nn) the epithet of the tenth-century kingHarald Bluetooth who united
dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom and, according to legend, introduced Christianity as well.

The idea of this name was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to
communicate with computers. At the time of this proposal he was reading Frans G. Bengtssons historical novel The Long
Ships about Vikings and king Harald Bluetooth. The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications
protocols, uniting them into one universal standard. The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes
(Hagall) () and (Bjarkan) (), Heralds initials. Bluetooth operates in the range of 24002483.5 MHz (including guard bands).

This technology is implemented using the IEEE 802.15 standard. Every Bluetooth device consists of a built in short range
radio transmitter. The current data rate is 1 Mbps and the bandwidth is 2.4 GHz. So interference between the IEEE 802.11
wireless LAN and Bluetooth LAN is possible. The devices carrying Bluetooth-enabled chips can easily transfer data at a
rate of about 1 Mbps (Megabits per second) within 10 meters (33 feet ) of range through walls , clothing and luggage bags .

Bluetooth is the name given to the new technology using short range radio links , intended to replace the cables connecting
portable and fixed electronics devices. It is envisaged that it will allow for the replacement of many cables that connect one
device to another with one universal radio link. Its key features are robustness , low complexity , low power and low cost.
The Bluetooth radio uses a fast acknowledgement and frequency hopping scheme to make the link robust. Bluetooth radio
modules operate in the unlicensed ISM band at 2.4 GHz , and avoid interference from other signals by hopping to a new
frequency after transmitting or receiving a packet. Compared with other systems in the same frequency band , the
Bluetooth radio hops faster and uses shorter wavelengths. Thus Bluetooth is a wireless LAN technology designed to
connect devices of different functions such as telephones , computers , printers , cameras, etc. . A Bluetooth LAN is an Ad
hoc network
