Bluetooth Software

No, it has nothing to do with teeth. Bluetooth software is the name of a new computer technology that is now becoming commercially available. It promises to change the way we use machines significantly. Bluetooth essentially is a cable-replacement technology. Conceived initially by Ericsson, it is a standard for a small, cheap radio chip to be plugged into computers, printers, mobile phones, or any other device.

A Bluetooth chip is designed to replace cables by taking the information normally carried by the cable, and transmitting it at a special frequency to a receiver chip, which will then return the information received. That was the original idea, but, a lot more is possible with the new software. If you can transmit information with between a PC and a printer, why not transmit data from a mobile phone to a printer, or to a computer?

It is a wireless protocol utilizing short-range communications technology facilitating data transmission over short distances, creating wireless Personal Area Networks. The intent behind the development of Bluetooth was the creation of a single digital wireless protocol, capable of connecting multiple devices. A radio technology called frequency hopping spread spectrum is used. It chops up the data being sent and transmits chunks of it on up to 75 different frequencies. In its basic mode, the modulation is Gaussian frequency shift keying, and it can achieve a gross data rate of 1 Mb/s.

The technology provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, telephones, laptops, personal computers, printers, GPS receivers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency bandwidth. The Bluetooth specifications are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. The SIG consists of companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer electronics.

Bluesoleil 6 is the most popular Bluetooth device driver, it supports all features of BlueSoleil earlier versions, manages phone contacts, you can send short messages via BlueSoleil on your computer, transfer files between computer and Bluetooth phone, and it is Windows Vista compatible.
