Can You Tell Me About Bluetooth Technology?

Bluetooth technology is used for wireless transfer of data from a cell phone to another.One can transfer songs and pics as well.

Bluetooth is an engineering specification. It is used for wireless PANs (the personal area networks). Different devices like laptops, mobiles, digital cameras, computers etc can be connected to each other in order to share information. All of the specifications of the Bluetooth technology are certified by the 'Bluetooth Special Interest Group'.

This technology is actually a 'radio standard' technology.  All of the protocols required for communication are designed on the basis of less power consumptions. This all communication and protocols are designed for short ranges like 1m, 10m, and 100 m. each device contains transceiver microchips of very low cost.

The devices which can be connected and communicate via Bluetooth can work and communicate with each other; of they are within the specified range. To avoid the problem of in line of sight, radio communication coordination is used by all these devices. One of the applications of Bluetooth is that it can be used in wireless sort of networking among computers in a limited space and a place where a small bandwidth is vital. It is very helpful technology in certain situations where infrared is usually used for controlling and commanding. There must be a Bluetooth adapter with a computer if it has to be communicated with Bluetooth devices.
