What is Bluetooth Technology

The short description: Bluetooth technology is a global short-range wireless standard that allows a broad range of electronic devices to connect and communicate with each other. Bluetooth technology is essentially a cable-replacement technology. From mobile phones and headsets to MP3 players, PCs and peripherals, Bluetooth technology allows these devices to connect.

Bluetooth technology is actually derived from a combination of wireless technologies. The Bluetooth specification unites these technologies under the title: "Bluetooth technology".

Bluetooth technology was first developed by Ericsson and then formalized by a group of electronics manufacturers (Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba) who joined forces to form a private trade association known as the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

When they formally introduced the Bluetooth specification to the public, they established a global standard, thus creating a universal way for mobile computers, cell phones, and various other devices to wirelessly connect with one another.

Due to the fact that Bluetooth technology is a standardized wireless technology, you can rest assure it will be around for many years to come.

So, now that we've answered the question: "What is Bluetooth technology?" You probably want to know why this wireless technology was given such a funny name: "Bluetooth".

Why is It Called Bluetooth?

The developers of this wireless technology first used the name "Bluetooth" as a code name, but as time past, the name stuck.

The word "Bluetooth" is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Bluetooth. King Bluetooth had been influential in uniting Scandinavian Europe during an era when the region was torn apart by wars and feuding clans.

The founders of the Bluetooth SIG felt the name was fitting because:

1) Bluetooth technology was first developed in Scandinavia, and

2) Bluetooth technology is able to unite differing industries such as the cell phone, computing, and automotive markets. Bluetooth wireless technology simplifies and combines multiple forms of wireless communication into a single, secure, low-power, low-cost, globally available radio frequency.
