Bluetooth Technology: A Revolutionary Technology


Today’s world is all about technology. The world today is quite different from what it used to be two or three decades back. It has become very important for us to stay updated as far as technology is concerned. Technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. We all use it every day in some form or the other.         

Bluetooth technology is one such technology which has become extremely popular among the mobile phone users. It allows the user to send or receive data wirelessly. This technology is used in Personal Area Network (PAN) or small private networks. Apart from mobile phones there are other devices as well which uses Bluetooth technology. You can easily send images, videos, and music etc. using Bluetooth. There are some laptops which have got in built Bluetooth technology, which makes it pretty easy to access files and folders. Bluetooth technology makes your device portable, which is not possible in case of wires and cables.


Another beneficial outcome of Bluetooth technology is wireless mouse and keyboards. With the rising concerns of e-waste, it has become important that we adopt environment friendly methods like Bluetooth technology. This technology makes use of radio waves like FM and mobile phone does. The only difference between them is perhaps the distance. Bluetooth technology can just transmit data to your personal space unlike radio or TV signals which transmits the data to over several miles.

This technology was pioneered by military in 1940’s. Later in 1994, a Swedish company Ericsson invented this technology. Realizing the potential of Bluetooth technology, a group of companies paired their devices to use this technology. Seeing its working, this group of companies formed SIG (Special Interest Group).This organization focuses on maintaining the technology. It is interesting to note that this technology is not held or owned by a single company. It is under SIG, which upgrades and maintain Bluetooth technology.

With the passage of time, Bluetooth technology is maturing and people are finding it very easy to create connection which they were not able to do with wires and cables. More than 15000 companies are making use of this technology in their products. This technology is of great use for people who indulge in talking over phone while driving. Bluetooth technology is also mixing extremely well to the speech recognition technology.
Lastly, today you will find that this technology is being used in many products that are used on daily basis.
