What is Bluetooth
• It is a cable replacement technology.
• Wireless communication between
various devices within a small area.
• Used to swap data and synchronize
between various devices.
How it works
• Bluetooth is based on low cost, short-ranged radio
link, operates in Radio band of 2.4GHz , and
provides a range of 10 meters.
• Connections can be point-to-point or multipoint.
• Devices connected to each other, they form a
personal area network (PAN) called the Pico net.
• Each Pico net can have a master, and up to
7 active and 255 parked slaves.
• Different Pico nets are connected using a
common device and such networks are
called scatter net
Frequency Band
• Diff Frequency ranges for diff
countries.
• Europe & USA-2400-2483.5 MHz.
• Japan-2471-2497 MHz.
• Spain-2445-2475 MHz.
• France-2445-2483.5 MHz.
• SIG Working towards harmonization
of frequency.
Applications of Bluetooth
• tremendous potential in moving and
synchronizing information in a localized setting.
• The Bluetooth technology connects all your office
peripherals wirelessly.
• Bluetooth allows us to have THREE way phones
• Automatic Message Delivery.
• Have automatic synchronization of your desktop,
mobile computer, notebook and mobile phone.
• Upon arriving at your home, the door
automatically unlocks for you, the entry way
lights come on, and the heat is adjusted to your
pre-set preferences
Current state of technology
• Technology has moved fast in terms of standard
adoptions with release of chipsets and demo
products.
• Like Ericsson’s Bluetooth headset with 20gms of
weight can be used with Ericsson T28, T28
WORLD and R320 cellular phones.
• Nokia Bluetooth headset with 10 Meters range.
• Nokia and Fuji film had developed a prototype
Mobile Imaging technology.
• AutoPC is a Windows CE based device that
combines a computer with a car radio.
• Xircom’s Flash product can transfer voice data
files at 721 kb/seconds.
Competitive Technology Alternatives

BLUETOOTH IrDA
• Omni-directional • Bi-directional
• Ranges from 10- • Ranges from 20-30
100 mts cms
• Extended range- • Extended range-2
100 mts mts
• Can penetrate • Can’t penetrate
solids
Future Outlook
• Meets basic connectivity in close
proximity
• More than 1800 manufacturers have
joined.
• More than 670 million Bluetooth
device.
• Use of WAP,Smart phones &
handheld devices.
• Replacing multiple communication
ports with single Bluetooth module.
Software Development Tools
• XTNDAccess Bluetooth SDK
• Impronto Simulator from Rococo
Software
• Cambridge Silicon Radio's
Development kit
• RAPPORE Technology's SDK
Bluetooth versus Wireless LAN

BLUETOOTH WIRELESS LAN

• Bluetooth ranges • 802.11 ranges Up
up to 30 feet to 200 feet
• Speed 1-2 MBPS • 11-54 MBPS
• Less expensive • Very expensive
• Started in 2002 • Widespread
market
Conclusion
Though Bluetooth is one of the
greatest success in the wireless
communication world, still it has not
been able to finalize the problem
completely.
