2. What is Bluetooth? Short-range communications technology Intended to replace cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices Still able to maintain a high level of security Defines uniform structure for wide range of devices to connect and communicate Key features are Robustness, low power, and cost
3. What is Bluetooth? Cont’d Intended to create a PAN Operating range of 10 metres, with optional 100 metre mode. Transmission power of 1 mW Operates in free ISM band [2.4000 – 2.4835 GHz]
4. Basic Uses Cable replacement Voice and Data access points Ad-hoc/temporary networking Up to 8 devices can be networked at a time
5. History of Bluetooth? The name “Bluetooth” comes from an english translation of HaraldBlåtand, a tenth-century king of Denmark United dissonant Danish tribes into an unified kingdom The relation of names is because the implication of Bluetooth technology is that it unites communication protocols into one universal standard.
6. The start of Bluetooth? Ericsson Mobile Communication Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) Ericsson, Toshiba, Intel, Nokia, & IBM
7. Timeline - The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is formed with five companies.- The Bluetooth SIG welcomes its 400th member by the end of the year.- The name Bluetooth is officially adopted. - The Bluetooth 1.0 Specification is released.- The Bluetooth SIG hosts the first UnPlugFest for member engineers. - First mobile phone.- First PC Card.- Prototype mouse and laptop demonstrated at CeBIT 2000.- First Headset.
8. Timeline - First printer.- First laptop.- First hands-free car kit.- First hands-free car kit with speech recognition. - First keyboard and mouse combo.- First GPS receiver.- Bluetooth wireless qualified products now number 500.- First digital camera. - First MP3 player.- Bluetooth Core Specification Version 1.2 adopted by the Bluetooth SIG.- Shipment of Bluetooth enabled products hits rate of 1 million per week.- First FDA-approved medical system.
9. Timeline - The Bluetooth SIG adopts Core Specification Version 2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).- Bluetooth technology reaches an installed base of 250 million devices.- Product-shipment rate surpasses 3 million per week.- First stereo headphones. - Product shipments soar to 5 million chipsets per week.- The Bluetooth SIG welcomes its 4,000th member.- First Sunglasses. - First watch.- First picture frame.- Bluetooth wireless reaches an installed base of 1 billion devices.- Bluetooth enabled devices ship at a rate of 10 million per week.- First alarm-clock radio.
10. Timeline - First television.- The Bluetooth SIG welcomes its 8,000th member.- Bluetooth SIG Executive Director, Michael Foley, wins Telematics Leadership Award. - 2008 marks Bluetooth technology’s 10 year anniversary - no other wireless technology has grown to be shipping nearly 2 Billion products in 10 years.- The Bluetooth SIG welcomes its 10,000th member. - The Bluetooth SIG adopts Core Specification Version 3.0 + HS making Bluetooth high speed technology a reality- The Bluetooth SIG welcomes its 12,000th member
11. Applications of Bluetooth Telephones Headsets Computers Computer accessories LAN peripherals Multimedia Devices
12. How does Bluetooth work? When device is put in discoverable mode, each device only knows about itself.
13. How does Bluetooth work? Cont’d INQUIRY identifies who else is in the range
18. Limitations/Future Security – data transmission is not completely secure BT is relatively new, it is still currently being developed, expanded, and improved. The next stage in the development of Bluetooth is in creating more applications and devices of the technology while maintaining efficiency and low-cost
19. Dealing with current concerns Current concern of using electronic devices while driving New law in Ontario prohibits the use of talking/texting on your cell phone while driving. Bluetooth is the solution to this safety concern This added law is sparking an increase in sales of electronic products, assisting the downturned economy’s in a regrowth.
20. Leading the way The free market has been, and will be leading the way for the future of Bluetooth. Most applications of BT have been made by people who have put their ideas together into a single form of communication Canada’s role in developing Bluetooth is in the government investing money in production of Bluetooth devices. Despite the minor role, Canada has made laws that cause an increased awareness of Bluetooth and as a result, an increase in sales and future possibilities.
21. Presence in our field Bluetooth technology will be continuously expanding and our market will deal with producing certain BT products for the future We may also encounter Bluetooth technology in our workplace in the application aspect, where we will be using this technology to communicate with co-workers, bosses, and firms in a faster and more efficient way
22. B-Tech Preparation Our program will allow us to gain knowledge in producing these Bluetooth devices Application of sciences and programming language, as well as critical thinking where we must think of new ideas to improve/create products that will be present in common society’s future. Our hands-on skills will allow us to deal with a BT product, analyze it, and improve on the deficiencies and problems that are present with a certain device.
23. Misconceptions of Bluetooth The name is in no way related to a person that had blue teeth BT is not a short-range technology BT can expose sensitive data Devices that have “Discoverable Mode” turned OFF, can still be located
24. Why Bluetooth? Expansive growth in the last few years Recent driving laws will cause an increased need for Bluetooth technology, and we would like everyone to know what it exactly is Relates to our Bachelor of Technology program, as Bluetooth technology is used in all three fields, and the material we are learning will apply directly in the production of this relatively new form of communication It is the future of communication, as the amount of Bluetooth application possibilities is endless
