Most everyone has heard about Bluetooth wireless networking. It is a popular technology that is found in just about every corner of the globe and in numerous types of electronic equipment. The specifications for the powerful Bluetooth technology was invented during the 1990s and started to be introduced into the marketplace near the end of the century.

Ericsson (now Sony Ericsson) developed Bluetooth in an attempt to standardize wireless technology networking so that it would be cheaper and easier to integrate several devices. The ideal situation for the consumer would be for electronic companies to produce a single, shared standard, allowing customers to collaborate their wireless devices regardless of who made the products.

One of the factors that has helped Bluetooth become so popular, and the standard in short-range wireless communication, was the decision that Ericsson made to keep the Bluetooth specifications royalty free. Companies interested in implementing the technology were invited to join a consortium of developers and were then allowed to use the technology free-of-charge in any of their products.

This standard makes technology extremely affordable for manufacturers to continue creating groundbreaking equipment that incorporates the desired technology. Because of this, these devices have also become cheaper to the end user, and it has allowed Bluetooth networking to be the mobile wireless technology standard.

These electronic gadgets and tools can seamlessly connect and communicate with each other, transferring both voice and data simultaneously, thanks to the marvels of wireless networking technology. Bluetooth technology is designed for three types of wireless defined communication ranges.

Of these, the Class 2 wireless devices are the most powerful, having a range of up to 300 feet. Effective ranges of 50-100 feet are provided by lesser powered class 2 devices. Class 3 devices use less power, and their range is more limited to only about 15 to 30 feet.

Many people do not realize that Bluetooth technology was only designed for short-range connectivity and communications. When it was designed, the short-range limitation was actually an intentional feature.

This short-range design limits the possibility of interference from nearby electrical devices. This form of security prevents others from connecting with your devices, and protects the device along with your data.

Using less power, a necessary requirement for short distance transmission, is another benefit of limiting the range of networking devices. Less power required means an increased battery life, a key component required by most users, as a good many of their Bluetooth devices are powered by batteries.

There are a multitude of electronic devices that use Bluetooth wireless networking standards, such as: many wireless PDAs, wireless phones and wireless headsets that work in conjunction with each other and the Bluetooth wireless printer and wireless stereo headset, just to mention a few. Bluetooth technology is increasingly in demand in a wider range of products and manufacturers are working hard to satisfy this demand with more compatible electronic devices.

As a Sacramento computer service expert Graham Pendegrast knows how useful Bluetooth technology can be for a company's networking needs. For more complicated networking jobs Graham recommends Integral Networks, a Sacramento IT consulting company.
