History
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) was founded by Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba in February 1998 to develop as open specification for short-range wireless connectivity.

What Is Bluetooth?
Designed to be used to connect both mobile devices and peripherals that currently require a wire Simplifying communications between: - devices and the internet - data synchronization
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology is an open specification for a low-cost, low-power, short-range radio technology for ad-hoc wireless communication of voice and data anywhere in the world.
Technical meaning :-Technically, is a chip to be plugged into computers, printers, mobile phones, etc. Designed by taking the information normally carried by the cable, and transmitting it at a special frequency to a receiver Bluetooth chip which will then give information received to these mobile devices.
Main Strength:
Ability to simultaneously handle both data and voice transmissions such as headset for voice calls.
Technical Features
2.4 GHz ISM Open Band
Globally free available frequency 79 MHz of spectrum = 79 channels Frequency Hopping & Time Division Duplex (1600 hops/second)
Key Features:
Robustness, low complexity, low power and low cost
Bluetooth Vision
Originally conceived as a cable replacement technology Other usage models began to develop:
Personal Area Network (PAN) Ad-hoc networks Data/voice access points Wireless telematics
Advantages (+)
Wireless (No Cables)
Low Power Consumption (1 Milliwat)
Disadvantages (-)
Short range (10 meters)
Small throughput rates
Bluetooth Components
for tiny, radio frequency chips that can be plugged into your devices
These chips were designed to
take all of the information that your wires normally send, and transmit it at a special frequency to something called a receiver Bluetooth chip.
Bluetooth Frequency
Has been set aside by the ISM for exclusive use of Bluetooth wireless products
In this technique, a device will use 79 individual, randomly chosen frequencies within a designated range Transmitters change frequency 1600 times a second

Bluetooth Specifications
Each channel is divided into time slots 625 microseconds long Packets can be up to five time slots wide
File Transfer
Basic transferring of files between
computers File type does not matter Human interference does not degrade transfer rates Movement between Bluetooth units does alter transfer rates
