Bluetooth Facts

With Bluetooth® wireless technology your phone can do more than you realize. You may be aware that you can connect wirelessly to a headset, but your mobile device may also be able to transfer files, photos and even calendar information to other Bluetooth® enabled devices, including PCs, printers, cameras & car kits.

Now you can talk wirelessly with your Bluetooth® headset or listen to MP3s with a set of Bluetooth® wireless stereo headphones. Get your favourite pictures onto your PC for editing or send them straight to the printer without wire connections. Transfer calendar information from your PC to your mobile device so you stay on top of your busy schedule.

What is Bluetooth®?

Bluetooth® wireless technology is a global standard for short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed electronic devices. The key features of Bluetooth® wireless technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. Many features of the core specification are optional, allowing product differentiation.

Why Choose Bluetooth® wireless technology?

Bluetooth® wireless technology is the simple choice for convenient, wire-free, short-range communication between devices. It is a globally available standard that wirelessly connects mobile phones, portable computers, cars, stereo headsets, MP3 players, and more. Thanks to the unique concept of “profiles,” Bluetooth® enabled products do not need to install driver software. 

Bluetooth® wireless technology is the leading and only proven short-range wireless technology on the market today shipping over five million units every week.

Key Benefits of Bluetooth® Technology

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. The subsequent PIN code process is as easy as when you identify yourself at the ATM machine. When out-and-about, you carry your personal area network (PAN) with you and can even connect to others.

Globally Accepted Specification
Bluetooth® wireless technology is the most widely supported, versatile, and secure wireless standard on the market today. The globally available qualification program tests member products as to their accordance with the standard. Since the first release of the Bluetooth® specification in 1999, over 4000 companies have become members in the Bluetooth® Special Interest Group (SIG). Meanwhile, the number of Bluetooth® products on the market is multiplying rapidly. 

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. When Bluetooth® products identify themselves, they use the PIN code the first time they connect. Once connected, always securely connected.

Range of Devices
Bluetooth® technology is available in an unprecedented range of applications from mobile phones & automobiles, even medical devices for use by consumers.
