Bluetooth®︎ Overview

Bluetooth® Overview

The Origin of the Name Bluetooth® – an Example of Harmonization of Different Languages

Surprisingly, the name dates back more than a millennia to King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson who was well known for two things: Uniting Denmark and Norway in 958 and uniting several languages. His dead tooth, which had a dark blue/grey color, earned him the nickname Bluetooth. That way, the Bluetooth-Logo was created out of the runes for H and B.

As the aim of Harald was to unite countries and languages the aim of the Bluetooth® interface was to harmonise the communication between different electronic devices.

Bluetooth® – Harmonization of Interfaces

In 1996, three industry leaders, Intel, Ericsson and Nokia, met to plan the standardization of this short-range radio technology to support connectivity and collaboration between different products and industries.

The Amount of Devices is rising steadily

With the success of Bluetooth® connectivity also the number of devices is rising steadily.

In 2019 about 4 billion Bluetooth® devices were shipped worldwide. The early classic standard is decreasing while Bluetooth® Smart or also called Bluetooth® Low Energy is fast-growing. Bluetooth® can be found of course in every Phone, Tablet and PC. Connected Devices, Smart Building, Smart Industry, Smart Home and Smart City are the key markets for Bluetooth® Applications.

Bluetooth® as Industrial Communication Interface

Especially in the industry there is a need for easy connecting to different devices by Phone or Tablet. With no need of a display in the device itself, as the Smart Device is used for it, an immense potential of cost reduction is reachable.

    I always think it's cool when companies come together to work on a standard together.
