Explaining Bluetooth Technology
When buying computers or cellular phones, many people want their unit to have Bluetooth capabilities. They know that Bluetooth allows units to be synced without having to use any connecting cables but what exactly is Bluetooth all about?
Bluetooth is basically an open wireless technology which allows data to be exchanged over short distances using short wavelength transmissions in the ISM band region of 2400-2480 MHz). Bluetooth technology works on both fixed and mobile devices and although it does not use cables to transmit data, there is a high level of security between devices.
Bluetooth was created by Ericsson in 1994 as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables and it had the capacity to connect several devices simultaneously thus reducing problems in synchronization.
Today, Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) which has over 15,000 companies – involved in the fields of telecommunication, computing, networking and consumer electronics. The companies within SIG oversee the development of the product, manage the qualification program and protect the Bluetooth trademark. Before any device can be marketed as a Bluetooth unit, this must first meet the standards set by the SIG.
Companies involved in the distribution and marketing of Bluetooth devices should make sure their websites are on good web hosts and the quality of service of a webhost can be seen through the comments, rating and feedback left on web hosting user reviews. Web hosting user reviews, such as Blue Host Review, are online resources that can be accessed by anyone at any time.
