 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(or)
other. 

Bluetooth is a high-speed, low-power microwave

wireless link technology, designed to connect phones,
laptops, PDAs and other portable equipment together
with little or no work by the user.
 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.
 What is Bluetooth Technology:
It comprises of a base band processor, a radio and an antenna . The base-band
processor converts the data into signals, the antenna of another blue tooth
device, within at least 30 feet distance, receives a transmitted signal in the air.

It uses a frequency hopping

spread spectrum technique
(FHSS) - which is one of two
basic modulation techniques
used in spread spectrum signal
transmission. Frequencies are
switched repeatedly during
radio transmission to help
reduce unlawful access or other
means of telecommunications
to cross paths and cause
interruption
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 Of Bluetooth:
 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 Of Bluetooth:

 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 Internet Bridge

An extension of this model could be a mobile
computer that allows surfing the Internet irrespective of
the location of the user, and regardless of whether the
user is cordlessly connected through a mobile phone
(cellular) or through a wire line connection (e.g. PSTN,
ISDN, LAN, xDSL).
 Automatic Check-in
Hotels are testing, or plan to test, services that allow
guests to check in, unlock room doors and even control
room temperature with handheld devices equipped
with Bluetooth Technology
 Bluetooth 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.
Security
 Authentication and
encryption is provided at
the Link Manager layer.
 The PIN is translated into
a 128 bit link key which is
used for authentication.
 After authentication the
radios will settle on a
suitable length encryption
key to be used.
 Bluetooth relies on PIN
codes to establish trusted
relationships between
devices.
 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
 Data Rates
 Power Reduction
 Range
