Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that allows electronic devices such as computers, phones, and other devices to connect and communicate with each other over short distances of around 10 meters. It was developed in 1994 by Ericsson to replace wired cables and provide wireless connections between devices. The Bluetooth standard is maintained by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group which includes thousands of member companies and outlines specifications for Bluetooth radios, protocols, and security functions such as authentication and encryption to enable devices to connect in an ad-hoc network called a piconet. Common applications of Bluetooth include connecting headphones, keyboards, mice, printers and other peripherals to computers and phones.

and low-cost wireless network system to replace cables and give RF connection between consumer devices. • What is Bluetooth? o Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
• Why this name?
o It was taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand who unified Denmark and Norway.
• When does it appear?
o 1994 – Ericsson study on a wireless technology to link mobile phones & accessories. o 5 companies (Ericssn,Nokia,IBM,Toshiba & Intel)joined to form the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1998 named. o First specification released in July 1999. • Uses the radio range of 2.45 GHz • Theoretical maximum bandwidth is 1 Mb/s • Several Bluetooth devices can form an ad hoc network called a “piconet” – In a piconet one device acts as a master (sets frequency hopping behavior) and the others as slaves – Example: A conference room with many laptops wishing to communicate with each Other • Laptops • Cellular phones • Personal Digital Assistants • Headsets • Printers • Keyboards/mice • GPS, etc… • Major use in consumer electronics • Allows up to 8 devices to communicate in a local network called a Piconet, also known as a Personal Area Network or PAN • Because of its low power consumption, its range is limited to 10 m. • However, range can be increased to 100 m by employing a scatternet topology or a higher powered antenna • Three classes of Bluetooth devices -Class 3 radios – have a range of up to 1 meter or 3 Feet. -Class 2 radios – most commonly found in mobile devices – have a range of 10 meters or 30 feet -Class 1 radios – used primarily in industrial use cases – have a range of 100 meters or 300 feet • The Bluetooth standard is maintained and published by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) • Includes thousands of member companies • Covers topics such as interoperability, testing and qualification of bluetooth devices • Most important, outlines the specifications for: - Bluetooth Radio - Baseband - LMP – Link Manager Protocol • Responsible for link set-up between devices, including security functions : – Authentication – Encryption • Infrared IrDA (WPAN) : synchronization, link between a phone and a laptop… – Less flexible than Bluetooth, need of a line of site – Comparable data rate • Wi-Fi (WLAN) : Wireless LAN access – Far higher bandwidth and data rate than Bluetooth – Higher power consumption than Bluetooth – Requires infrastructure investment • Success of Bluetooth depends on how well it is integrated into consumer products -Consumers are more interested in applications than the technology -Bluetooth must be successfully integrated into consumer -- products -Must provide benefits for consumer -Must not destroy current product benefits • Key Success Factors -Interoperability -Mass Production at Low Cost -Ease of Use -End User Experience THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION
