Bluetooth Technology
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a telecommunications industry
specification that describes how mobile devices, computers and other devices
can easily communicate with each other using a
short-range wireless connection. Bluetooth technology allows
devices to communicate with each other without cables or wires. Bluetooth
relies on short-range radio frequency, and any device that incorporates the
technology can communicate as long as it is within the required distance.
What is Bluetooth used for?
Bluetooth technology is
primarily used to wirelessly connect
peripherals to mobile phones, desktops, and laptops. Some of the most common Bluetooth accessories include mouse,
keyboards, speakers, and headphones. Many gaming controllers use Bluetooth
technology for wireless connectivity as well. Bluetooth is often used to pair mobile devices with
other mobile or fixed devices. This could be your earbuds, your car, and your
smart fridge.
