Bluetooth Wireless Networking

Bluetooth technology offers three different types of defined ranges, based on output ranges.

  • Class 1 devices are the most powerful, as they can have up to 100 mW of power, with a regular antenna giving them a range of around 130 - 330 feet.
  • Class 2 devices are lower power, offering up to 2.5 mW of power. A regular antenna will give them a range of around 50 - 100 feet.
  • Class 3 devices use even less power, up to 1 mW of power to be exact. With a regular antenna, they will have a range of around 16 - 33 feet.

Even though you may not realize it, Bluetooth wireless technology has never been intended for anything other than short distance types of communication. With Bluetooth wireless, the short range is actually a benefit. Read the rest of this entry →

The Benefits of Computer Technology

Computer technology has come an extremely far way since the days of humongous computer machines and extremely difficult to use programming code just to run a computer!

Nowadays we have technology that fits in the palm of our hand, that has a million times more capability then those early GIANT computer machines that took up a whole room!

You can even do most of your computing (surfing the web and emailing) right from your cell phone these days. The benefits of computer technology are many. Read the rest of this entry →

iPhone Applications that one can’t live without!

The Benefits of Using Bluetooth

The amazing technology of Bluetooth presents a great way of exchanging data between two wireless devices.

Unlike telephones, there are no wires or messy leads to worry about. You can enjoy wireless
communications with short distances of up to thirty feet.

Bluetooth also offers interoperability, meaning that you can use your portable Bluetooth device to connect with existing Bluetooth points. Read the rest of this entry →

How Bluetooth Works

Bluetooth devices will normally operate at 2.4 GHZ in the license free, globally available ISM radio band.  The advantage to this band includes worldwide availability and compatibility.

A disadvantage to this however, is that the devices must share this band with other RF emitters.  This includes automobile security systems, other wireless devices, and other noise sources, such as microwaves.

To overcome this challenge, Bluetooth employs a fast frequency hopping scheme and therefore uses shorter packets than other standards within the ISM band.

Bluetooth Technology Intro

The technology of Bluetooth is nothing new, but in many respects it can still seem like more of a buzz word rather than an accepted technology.

You may see the ads for Bluetooth enabled devices, although you still may be wondering what it is.

Capabilities
The Bluetooth definition is a wireless technology that is a worldwide specification for a small form factor, low cost solution that will provide link between mobile devices and other electronic devices.
