Bluetooth
Definition
Bluetooth is a wireless
technology standard for short-
range data exchange between
fixed and mobile devices.
Origin
Named after King Harald
Bluetooth, who united Danish
tribes in the 10th century.
Purpose
Designed to replace RS-232
data cables with a universal
short-range wireless solution.

4. How Bluetooth
Works
1 Frequency Hopping
Bluetooth uses 2.4 GHz frequency, rapidly switching
between 79 channels to avoid interference.
2 Pairing
Devices establish a trusted connection through a
process called pairing, often using a PIN.
3 Data Transfer
Once paired, devices can exchange data packets
wirelessly within a short range.
