What is Bluetooth

Bluetooth is an open, low-power wireless communication standard that allows data and audio to be transmitted between compatible devices. The unofficial site https://bluetooths.info/en will be useful for users of devices that support Bluetooth wireless technology. For example, here you can download Bluetooth for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 and XP for free without registration and SMS. See here for details.

What is Bluetooth for

Bluetooth technology is used to create a wireless network of multiple compatible devices. Today, three classes of transceivers are produced. First-class long-range Bluetooth equipment is used in industrial and infrastructure control systems. The most common was the household second class. For medical and sports low-power equipment, the third class is used.

The following specifications are specified in the Bluetooth standard:

- hardware: radio, base controller, other components;
- software: communication controller stacks, host controller interface, host drivers;
- qualifications: protocols, testing services, review and certification.

The benefits of Bluetooth technology

Unlike a cellular mobile network and many other types of networks, a Bluetooth network does not need servers, routers, hubs, generators, towers and other expensive equipment. The standard Bluetooth network consists of common gadgets found in every home and office: desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, mobile phones and peripherals. The popularity of Bluetooth solutions is facilitated by low power consumption, the low cost of Bluetooth transmitters and receivers, and the free use of the patent for all equipment manufacturers. Supported operating systems are Windows, Mac OS, DOS, Linux, Ubuntu and others.

What does the name Bluetooth mean

The Bluetooth standard is named after Harald Blatand, who was king of Denmark from 940 to 981. He was the son of the kings of Denmark and England. His blue-grey dead tooth earned him the nickname Bluetooth. Harald was responsible for the peaceful unification of Denmark and Norway in 958. The Bluetooth logo combines the runes of the Younger Futhark (Hagall) and the initials of Harald. See here for details.

History of Creation

The open wireless standard was developed in 1994 by Ericsson Corporation. In 1998, the Bluetooth SIG was formed. A special Interest Group made up of representatives from the telecommunications, computing and networking industries is driving Bluetooth to market. This group includes Sony Ericsson, Intel, Microsoft and many more companies.

Bluetooth operation

Bluetooth devices working together assume that they support a common profile. A Bluetooth profile refers to a set of specific features that are approved by the Bluetooth SIG. We recommend downloading Bluetooth for free on a laptop or computer for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and XP at https://bluetooths.info/en/download without registration and SMS in order to be able to connect to Bluetooth devices and networks and have access to peripheral devices.

How Bluetooth connects

The devices can be connected in a point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, piconet and distribution network with the possibility of synchronous or asynchronous data transmission. In this case, the distribution network may consist of piconets that use different templates and are not synchronized with each other. All devices within range of radio waves can be paired. Once detected and the password is entered, the wireless connection is established. Data and sound transmission is possible at a distance of up to one hundred meters. The radio channel operates at frequencies from 2.4 to 2.48 GHz. It is enough to make the settings once, and the devices will find each other and pair automatically when approached. Communication is not interrupted if devices do not leave a certain area.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

With the use of Bluetooth, wireless connections are possible not only between a telephone-computer, a smartphone-headphones, a laptop-speakers and the like, but also the organization of a full-fledged wireless network suitable for use as an alternative to Wi-Fi. The speed and bandwidth is, of course, less than that of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), but otherwise it is very convenient. All Bluetooth-enabled smart devices can create wireless connections and communicate with each other and use the capabilities of passive wireless equipment. For details see here and here.

Download free Bluetooth programs for Windows

There is an application software that uses Bluetooth. Such software can act as drivers for organizing a wireless connection (WIDCOMM, BlueSoleil, Driver Installer), synchronizing and managing data on a phone, smartphone, tablet (Mobile Master, Movil Multimedia), monitoring device activity (Bluetooth View), displaying information and analyzing surrounding devices (Medieval Bluetooth Network Scanner), operation of devices as a mobile webcam (WebCamera Plus) or remote control (Mobilewitch Bluetooth Remote Control).

We recommend downloading the Broadcom WIDCOMM Bluetooth program for free on a computer or laptop to establish a wireless connection, add devices, synchronize, transfer data, organize a local Bluetooth network.

Bluetooth device drivers

Universal drivers work with the following Bluetooth devices: desktops, laptops and netbooks, tablets, smartphones, cell phones, headsets, portable speakers, headphones, microphones, selfie sticks, cameras, TVs, remotes, radios, mp3 players, watches, other consumer electronics, wireless home automation and smart home devices, retail and service beacons and routers, Bluetooth adapters, HDDs, DVDs, printers, modems, keyboards, mice, gamepads, clothing and footwear, sports accessories, medical wearable devices, GPS navigators and trackers, echo sounders, OBD2 ELM327 car diagnostic scanner and speakerphone in the car.
