If (like me) you have been wondering what all the hype surrounding blue tooth technology is about and if it’s really warranted - here are some answers that may help to demystify this wireless form of communication. So, what is Bluetooth technology?
Bluetooth technology can be summed up in two basic hardware components namely: a microchip and a radio transceiver. It can be installed into several different kinds of technologically driven communications devices, for example PDAs, mobile phones, personal computers and printers.
In a nutshell - Bluetooth technology makes it possible to transmit data and voice between these devices without the need for any cumbersome and limiting wires.
It can work pretty quickly too (up to 2Mps) and the microchip makes it possible for users to exchange information between various Bluetooth-friendly devices.
Bluetooth technology is capable of automatically exchanging and even synchronizing data between the devices that we use everyday - the internet, our phones and PDAs can all function via Bluetooth technology.
For example, if a contact number is keyed into a mobile phone it can be automatically transferred to a personal computer as soon as the two are within a range of approximately thirty feet.
Bluetooth technology is able to work via low radio frequency that is available around the world. It operates at 2.4 GHz on the Industrial, Scientific and Medical band and can even function is noisy environments so voice data can be heard under really rough conditions.
