Bluetooth Advantages

Bluetooth Devices are Wireless
It is so much more convenient and safe to communicate without carrying wires.

Bluetooth is Inexpensive
Bluetooth technology is cheap for companies to implement, which results in lower over-all manufacturing costs. These savings are passed along to the consumer.

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 of up to 30 feet from one another, they automatically begin to communicate without you having to do anything. Once the communication begins, Bluetooth devices will set up Personal Area Networks. The best part is that the devices take care of the entire set up 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. Every Bluetooth profile is specific to a particular function. For instance, when a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and a Bluetooth headset are communicating with one another, both will understand each other without the user having to do anything, even if the devices are of different makes or models.

Low Interference
Bluetooth devices avoid interference with other devices by using a technique known as spread-spectrum frequency hopping, and by using low power wireless signals.

Low Energy Consumption
Blue is Green. 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.

Share Voice and Data
The Bluetooth standard allows compatible devices to share both voice and data communications. For example, it is probably no surprise that a Bluetooth enabled cell phone is capable of sharing voice communication with a compatible Bluetooth headset, however, the same cell phone may also be capable of establishing a GPRS connection to the Internet. Then, using Bluetooth, the phone can connect to a laptop. The result: The laptop is capable of surfing the web or sending and receiving email.

Instant Personal Area Network (PAN)
Up to seven compatible Bluetooth devices can connect to one another within a proximity of up to 30 feet, forming a PAN or piconet. Multiple piconets can be automatically set up for a single room.

Upgradeable
The Bluetooth standard is upgradeable. A development group at the Bluetooth Special Interest Group has been given the task of working on the new Bluetooth version 2, which offers several new advantages and is backward compatible with the older versions.

The Technology is Here to Stay
Bluetooth is a universal, world-wide, wireless standard. Therefore, you can count on it being around for years to come. As more devices begin to use Bluetooth technology, electronics manufacturers will be increasingly eager to make their products compatible, using Bluetooth. A chain reaction is inevitable.
