 Introduction
 This technology provides short-range, wireless
connectivity between devices.
 It is intended to replace the cables connecting
portable and/or fixed electronic devices.
 Cables limit the mobility of the consumer and are
easily lost or broken.
 What is BLUETOOTH:
Bluetooth is a wireless technology used to transfer data between
different electronic devices. The distance of data transmission is
small in comparison to other modes of wireless communication. This
technology eradicates the use of cords, cables, adapters and
permits the electronic devices to communicate wirelessly among
each other.
 History of Bluetooth
 Bluetooth was invented in 1994 by Ericsson.
 The company later started working with a larger
group of companies called the Bluetooth Special
Interests Group, or "SIG," to develop the technology
into what it is today.
 Bluetooth is not owned by any one company and is
developed and maintained by SIG.
 The name Bluetooth came from a code name
originally used by SIG for the project and is a
reference to a 10th century Danish king named
Harold Bluetooth, who was responsible for uniting
Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
 Types Of Bluetooth Devices:
1. Head Set

2. In-Car Bluetooth System

3. Bluetooth Equipped Printer

4. Bluetooth Equipped Web Cam

5. Bluetooth GPS System

6. Bluetooth Key Board

 Importance Of Bluetooth:
 These have Replaced cables for transferring
Information from one Electronic Device to
another one.
 These have decreased Strain like carrying
phones while talking, making hands free to
do another work.
 This is cheaply Available.
 It’s Mobility is also very Important as it doesn’t
need any power outlet or Internet
connection or any other items.
 Advantages
 Eliminates wires
 Facilitates Data and Voice Communication
 Offers formation of Ad hoc networks
 Standardized protocol
 Free of charge
 Easy to use
 Low power consumes battery less
 Stationary and mobile environments
 Disadvantages
 Data sent between two Bluetooth devices is
very slow compared with Wi-Fi transfer Rate.

 Range Of a Bluetooth Device is 15-30 feet

depending upon the Device.

 Security is Biggest Disadvantage as transfer

takes place through radio waves and a hacker
can easily hack it.

 Battery usage is also a problem, it will make

device out of power before it would have if
Bluetooth was not powered on.
 Applications:
 The Bluetooth is used in wireless head sets.
 Bluetooth is used to transfer files, images and MP3 or MP4
between cell phones.
 It is used in laptops and PDAs.
 It is also used in printers.
 It is almost used in wireless communication (WAN).
 It is used in wireless mouse and keyboards.
 It is used for sending small advertisements from Bluetooth
enabled advertising hoardings to other, discoverable, Bluetooth
devices.
 It is used in short range transmission of health sensor data from
medical devices to mobile phone, set top box or
dedicated telehealth
 Characteristics
 It separates the frequency band into hops. This
spread spectrum is used to hop from one channel
to another, which adds a strong layer of security.
 Up to eight devices can be networked in a
piconet.
 Signals can be transmitted through walls and
briefcases, thus eliminating the need for line-of-
sight.
 Devices do not need to be pointed at each
other, as signals are omni-directional.
 Governments worldwide regulate it, so it is
possible to utilize the same standard wherever
one travels
 Future Of Bluetooth
 Bluetooth has a good future ahead because it meets a
basic need of connectivity.
 Currently a protocol is being researched that would
support large ad hoc networks.
 Latest version of Bluetooth are improving both its security
and capabilities.
 Ultra wide band has been chosen by the Bluetooth
Special Interest Group as the future of Bluetooth
Technology.
 New versions of Bluetooth technology will meet the high-
speed and large range.
 Many companies are designing impressive bluetooth
applications in demand.
 Conclusion
A new global standard for data and voice
 Eliminates Cables.
 Low Power, Low range, Low Cost network
devices.
 Bluetooth seems to have a bright future after
reviewing its benefits and wide use.
 Further improvements are planned to be made
in
