Bluetooth® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth® technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth® specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other.
A fundamental Bluetooth® wireless technology strength is the ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions. This enables users to enjoy variety of innovative solutions such as a hands-free headset for voice calls, printing and fax capabilities, and synchronizing PDA, laptop, and mobile phone applications to name a few.
Why choose Bluetooth® wireless technology?
Bluetooth® wireless technology is the simple choice for convenient, wire-free, short-range communication between devices. The technology is now available in its fourth version of the specification and continues to develop, building on its inherent strengths - small-form factor radio, low power, low cost, built-in security, robustness, ease-of-use, and ad hoc networking abilities.
Range of Devices
Bluetooth® technology is available in an unprecedented range of applications from mobile phones to automobiles to medical devices for use by consumers, industrial markets, enterprises, and more. The low power consumption, small size and low cost of the chipset solution enables Bluetooth® technology to be used in the tiniest of devices.
Ease of Use
Bluetooth® technology is an ad hoc technology that requires no fixed infrastructure and is simple to install and set up. You don’t need wires to get connected. The process for a new user is easy - you get a Bluetooth® branded product, check the profiles available and connect it to another Bluetooth® device with the same profiles.
Secure Connections
From the start, Bluetooth® technology was designed with security needs in mind. Since it is globally available in the open 2.4 GHz ISM band, robustness was built in from the beginning. With adaptive frequency hopping (AFH), the signal “hops” and thus limits interference from other signals. Further, Bluetooth® technology has built-in security such as 128bit encryption and PIN code authentication.
