Launched by a special interest group in May 1998, Bluetooth is the code-name for a wireless technology specification for small form factor, low cost, short-range radio links between mobile and stationary PCs, mobile phones and other peripheral devices, which will work anywhere in the world.

• Ericsson-a telephone Co. and leading provider in the new telecoms world.
• IBM- the world’s largest computer manufacture and world’s largest software Co.
• Intel-world’s largest chip maker and leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products.
• Nokia-leading mobile phone supplier.
• Toshiba-world’s 6th largest electronics and electronic equipment manufacturer.

• Ericsson contributed the basic radio technology expertise.
• Toshiba and IBM are developing a common specification for integrating a”Bluetooth” tech. into mobile devices.

• Intel is contributing its advanced 9mmX9mm chip and software expertise.
• Nokia contributes expertise in radio technology and mobile handset software.

• Operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial-Scientific-Medical (IMS) band.
• Has a 10meter to 100meter range
• Uses Frequency Hop (FH) scheme with 1600 hops/sec, which divides the frequency band into a number of hop channels. All of this, together with an automatic output power adaptation to reduce the range exactly to requirement.
• During a connection, radio transceivers hop from one channel to another.

• Supports up to 8 devices in a piconet (two channel/small network).
• Built-in-Security
• Non line-of-sight transmission through walls and briefcases.
• Regulated by governments worldwide.

• It will connect…….
• Printers
• Mobile Phones
• Hands-free Headsets
• LCD projectors
• Modems
• Wireless LAN devises

• Notebooks
• Desktop PCs
• Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) ect…
• ……..to one another via Bluetooth short range radio modules installed in each of these devices.

• At home, your phone functions as a portable phone (fixed line charge). When your on the move, it functions as a mobile phone (cellular charge). And when your phone comes with in range of another mobile phone with built in bluetooth wireless technology it functions as a walkie-talkie(no telephony charge).

• You can access the Internet on your mobile computer via your mobile phone.
• Unlock your car using your mobile phone that is equipped with bluetooth technology

• By 2002, Bluetooth radio modules will be built into millions of mobile phones, PCs, laptops, PDAs and other devices.
• By 2003 Bluetooth is predicted to have more than 10 million mobile terminals built into cars in Europe and in the U.S.

• Wireless
• Wireless internet access
• Small form factor
• Low cost
• Low power requirements
• Multiple simultaneous wireless connections

• Available worldwide
• Application programmer interfaces (APIs) enable compatibility with new and legacy software applications.
• Full Integration into the Windows 98 First and Second Edition and Windows 2000 operating system.
• Speed of (1-2 Mbps)

• In-Car Internet terminals, faxes, stereo and video capabilities, and telematic equipment. (Telematic equipment provides traffic guidance with the use of telecommunications.)

• The Bluetooth SIG has yet to figure out how to keep Bluetooth from interfering with wireless LANs such as the 802.11 wireless LAN spec used by Apple’s AirPort technology. 802.11 also runs on 2.4-GHz radio frequency.
• Telematic equipment could be setup to share vehicle velocity (speed, direction) and identification within a specified distance.

• Told you what Bluetooth was
