What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a universal radio interface in the 2.45GHz frequency band that enables portable electronic devices to connect and communicate wirelessly via short-range, ad hoc networks. Each unit can simultaneously communicate with up to sever other units per piconet. Moreover, each unit can simultaneously belong to several piconets.
What is Bluetooth Technology?
Bluetooth technology which apart from Ericsson, has gained the support of Nokia, IBM, Toshiba, Intel and many other manufacturers
eliminates the need for wires, cables and connectors for and between cordless or mobile phones, modems, headsets, PDAs, Computers, printers, projectors, local area networks, and so on, and paves the way for new and completely different devices and applications.Technology Characteristics
1Ms/s symbol rate exploits maximum available channel bandwidth
Fast frequency hopping avoids interference
Adaptive output power minimizes interference
Short data packets maximize capacity during interference
Fast acknowledge allows low coding overhead for links
CVSD (Continuous Variable Slope Delta Modulation) voice coding enables

Low power consumption longevity for battery powered devices . During data transfer the maximum current drain is 30mA. However during pauses or at lower data rates will be lower
蓝牙是一个频率为2.45GHz的通用无线电通信接口，它通过一个特殊的网络可以在各种便携设备之间建立起无线连接并进行短程通信。在一个微微网中，每个单元都能同时与其它各单元进行通信。而且，每一个单元可以同时属于几个微微网。
什么是"蓝牙"技术?
"蓝牙"技术最先是由爱立信开始研制的，现在已经得到了诺基亚、IBM、东芝、因特尔及许多其它相关制造厂家的支持。其目的是为了免除在无绳电话或移动电话、调制解调器、头套式送/受话器、PDAs、计算机、打印机、幻灯机、局域网等之间加装电线、电缆和连接器。而且，这种技术可以延伸到那些完全不同的新设备和新应用中去。"蓝牙"的技术特性—以每秒1M个码元的字符速率传输，充分利用信道的最大有效带宽.
快速跳频避免干扰
可变的电源输出使干扰减小到最小
采用短数据包传输增强抗干扰能力
快速确认允许有附加低速率的编码被发送到链路上
连续可变斜率增量调制的语音编码可以在高误码率的情况下正常工作
灵活的分组类型支持多种应用
无线电空中接口使电耗达到最小"蓝牙"基本技术概要
每一个小型、高性能、集成的无线电收发机都有IEEE 802标准所规定的一个唯一的48比特位地址
开放的2.45GHz ISM自由频段，全球都可以自由使用。
10公里是最适于移动通信市场和商业用户的通信范围
总速率为1Mbit/s，计划下一代产品将达到2Mbit/s
点到点连接允许的最大数据传输速率为721kbit/s
在无线电噪声环境里，利用基于每秒1600跳跳频表的分组交换协议可以提高系统性能。以1Mhz带宽79跳来利用这个完整的可用频谱。这类似于IEEE 802.11标准。
低电能的消耗。在备用模式下仅需0.3mA，这能延长那些使用电池供电设备的寿命。数据传送时电流的最大消耗为30mA。当暂停工作或低速传送数据时电流消耗更低。
