Bluetooth is a short range (10-100 m) and low-cost wireless network system to replace cables and give RF connection between devices It is a standard developed by a group of electronics manufacturers that allows any sort of electronic equipment

o Why this name ? o It was taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Bluetooth 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 (Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba & Intel)joined to form the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1998 named.

 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

 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 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 blue tooth 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

Less flexible than Bluetooth, need of a line of site Comparable data rate WI-FI (WLAN) Far higher bandwidth and data rate than Bluetooth Higher power consumption than Bluetooth Requires infrastructure investment

ADVANTAGES
WIRELESS
USER FRIENDLY DOESNT NEED A LINE OF SIGHT LIKE INFRARED

DISADVANTAGES
RELY ON BATTERY PROVIDES ONLY 1MBPS DATA RATE

LESS SECURE

CONCLUSION
There are quite a bit of advantages and fewer

disadvantages Overall, Bluetooth is a great thing to be using on all your devices that supports it
