The biggest feature of the information age is that information dissemination is more convenient and faster, and it is based on this that technicians are also striving to develop better information and data transmission methods. Bluetooth is not only a simple technology, but also a concept for mobile phones and even the whole IT industry. When the Bluetooth Alliance made a beautiful vision for the future, the whole industry was shocked. Throw away the shackles of traditional connections and enjoy the unrestrained fun completely. The promise given by Bluetooth is refreshing enough.
The origin of bluetooth
The founder of Bluetooth is Ericsson, Sweden, which began to develop Bluetooth as early as 1994. During 1997, Ericsson contacted other equipment manufacturers, which aroused their strong interest in this technology. 1In February 1998, five multinational companies, including Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba and Intel, formed a special interest group (SIG), and their common goal was to establish a global small-scale wireless communication technology, namely Bluetooth.
The name of Bluetooth comes from Danish King Harald Blatand-translated into English as Harold Bluetooth (because he likes Lan Mei very much, his teeth are blue every day). In the preparatory stage of the trade association, an expressive name is needed to name this high-tech. Industry organizers, after a night of discussion about the history of Europe and the infinite development of science and technology in the future, some people think that it is most appropriate to name it after King Blatter. King Blatter unified Norway, Sweden and Denmark. He is articulate and sociable, just like this upcoming technology, which will be defined as allowing coordination between different industrial fields and maintaining good communication between various system fields, such as computing, mobile phones and automobile industries. So the name is decided.
About bluetooth SIG
Bluetooth SIG (Bluetooth Technology Alliance) is a trade association composed of leading manufacturers in telecommunications, computer, automobile manufacturing, industrial automation and network industries. The team is committed to promoting the development of Bluetooth wireless technology, formulating low-cost wireless specifications for short-distance connection of mobile devices and bringing them to market.
Bluetooth SIG's global offices include: Seattle, USA (global headquarters); Kansas City, USA (US headquarters); Malmo, Sweden (EMEA headquarters); China Special Administrative Region (Asia-Pacific Headquarters).
The staff of Bluetooth SIG includes Dr. McFoley, executive director, Anders Edlund, marketing director, sales staff, engineering experts and operation experts. In addition to the support of Bluetooth SIG (Bluetooth Technology Alliance), volunteers from member companies also played an important role in the operation of Bluetooth SIG.
The initiators of Bluetooth SIG are Agere, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba. On June 5438+00, 2006, 13, Bluetooth SIG (Bluetooth Technology Alliance) announced that Lenovo would replace IBM as a founding member of the organization, with immediate effect. By becoming a founding member, Lenovo will have a place on the board of directors of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance like other industry leaders such as Jill System, Ericsson, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba, and actively promote the development of Bluetooth standards. In addition to the founding members, Bluetooth SIG also includes more than 200 alliance member companies and about 6,000 application member companies.
Advantages of Bluetooth technology
Why choose Bluetooth wireless technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is the simplest and most convenient method for wireless short-distance communication between two devices. It is widely used all over the world, and can wirelessly connect mobile phones, portable computers, cars, stereo headphones, MP3 players and other devices. Due to the unique concept of "profile", Bluetooth products no longer need to install driver software. The technology has been released in the fourth edition, and continues to develop on the basis of maintaining its inherent advantages-miniaturized radio, low power consumption, low cost, built-in security, stability, ease of use and instant networking functions. Bluetooth wireless technology is the only recognized leading short-range wireless technology in the market. By the end of 2005, its weekly shipment has exceeded 5 million units and the number of installed base stations has exceeded 500 million.
Globally available
Bluetooth wireless technical specifications are available for free use by our global member companies. Manufacturers in many industries are actively implementing this technology in their products to reduce the use of messy wires and realize seamless connection, streaming stereo transmission, data transmission or voice communication. Bluetooth technology works in the 2.4 GHz band, which is an industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio frequency band without applying for a license. For this reason, there is no need to pay any fees for using Bluetooth technology. But you must register with the mobile phone supplier to use GSM or CDMA, and you don't need to pay anything for using Bluetooth technology except the equipment fee.
Equipment scope
Bluetooth technology has been widely used as never before. Products that integrate this technology range from mobile phones, automobiles to medical equipment, and users who use this technology range from consumers, industrial markets to enterprises. Low power consumption, small size and low cost chip solutions enable Bluetooth technology to be applied to even small devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth product catalog and component product list to see the various products provided by our members.
convenient to use
Bluetooth technology is an instant technology, which does not need fixed infrastructure and is easy to install and set up. No cable connection is required. It's easy for new users to use-you just need to own a Bluetooth brand product, check the available profiles, and then use the same profile to connect it to another Bluetooth device. The subsequent PIN code process is as simple as operating on an ATM. When you go out, you can take your personal area network with you and even connect to other networks.
Global specification
Bluetooth wireless technology is the most widely supported, practical and secure wireless standard in the market today. A global certification program can test whether a member's products meet the standards. Since the release of 1999 in bluetooth profile, more than 4,000 companies have become members of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). At the same time, the number of Bluetooth products on the market has also increased exponentially. The number of products has doubled for four consecutive years, and the installed base station capacity may reach 500 million by the end of 2005.
