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 10-100 • Ranges from 20-30 cms
mts • Extended range-2 mts
• Extended range-100 • Can’t penetrate
mts
• Can 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 up to • 802.11 ranges Up to
30 feet 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.
