 What is Bluetooth?
 Why is it useful?
 Governing Standard – Large Consortium

3. History
 1998 - Bluetooth technology is officially introduced and the BLUETOOTH
SIG is formed. Bluetooth technology's intended basic purpose is to be a wire
replacement technology in order to rapidly transfer voice and data.
 1999 - Bluetooth 1.0 Specification is introduced.
 2003 - The BLUETOOTH SIG overhauls the Bluetooth Core Specification
with the announcement of Version 2.1.
 2004 - Bluetooth Version 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) is introduced.
 2005 - Devices using Version 2.0 + EDR begin to hit the market in late 2005.
 2007 - Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1 + EDR is adopted by the
BLUETOOTH SIG.
 2009 - Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + HS (High Speed) is
adopted by the BLUETOOTH SIG.

4. How it works?
 Short range wireless connectivity.
 Low power consumption
 Automatic recognition.

5. Privacy/Security
 Very Important.
 Don’t want data to be shared.
 Security not great.
 Pairing security.

6. Reliability
 What it really means?
 Which device are you connecting to?
 How large is the file?
 Which version are you using?
 Have the two devices been connected before?
