Bluetooth Technology is
Inexpensive.
Bluetooth technology is cheap for companies to implement, which results
in lower over-all manufacturing costs. These savings are then passed on to you, the consumer. The
end result: Bluetooth devices are relatively inexpensive.
Bluetooth is Automatic.
Bluetooth doesn't require you to think about setting up a connection or to
push any buttons. When two or more Bluetooth devices enter a range (Up to 30 feet)
of one another, they automatically begin to communicate without you having to
do anything. Once the communicating begins, Bluetooth devices will setup Personal
Area Networks the best part is: The devices take care of the entire setup
process, and you can go about your business.
Standardized Protocol = Interoperability
Since Bluetooth is a standardized wireless specification, a high level of
compatibility among devices is guaranteed. The Bluetooth specification uses and
defines various profiles. Every Bluetooth profile is specific to a particular
function. For instance, when a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and a Bluetooth
headset (Both with the same profile) are communicating with one another, both
will understand each other without the user having to do anything, even if the
devices are of different models/makes.
Low Interference (If Any)
Bluetooth devices avoid interference with other wireless devices by:
a) Using a technique known as spread-spectrum frequency hopping, and
b) Using low power wireless signals.
Low Energy Consumption
As stated above, Bluetooth uses low power signals. As a result, the
technology requires little energy and will therefore use less battery or
electrical power. Obviously, this is a great benefit for mobile devices because
Bluetooth won't drain the life of your device's battery.
Upgradeable
The Bluetooth standard is upgradeable. A development group at the Bluetooth
Special Interest Group (SIG) has been given the task of working on the new
Bluetooth version, which offers several new advantages and is backward compatible
with the older versions.
