Bluetooth Technology Overview

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is the name for a short-range radio frequency (RF) technology that operates at 2.4 GHz and is capable of transmitting voice and data

Range and Data Rates

The effective range of Bluetooth devices is 30 feet. Bluetooth transfers data at the rate of 1 Mbps; three feet and 300 feet versions are available with data rates up to 3Mbps

Why is it called Bluetooth?
The name Bluetooth refers to the 10th century Danish King Harald "Bluetooth" Blatand who was instrumental in unifying warring Denmark and Norway, just as the technology is designed to allow collaboration between differing industries such as the computing, mobile phone and automotive markets

Using Bluetooth

Setting up Bluetooth
The very first time a Bluetooth device is used it must be paired, or bonded, to another device Pairing is a one-time activity; once paired, Bluetooth devices will recognize each other until the user deletes the pairing information

Profiles and Services

Bluetooth devices come in all shapes and sizes; for two Bluetooth devices to work together, however, they must support the same service Bluetooth features, or services, are called profiles Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) are communication profiles while Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP) is a stereo profile

Bluetooth Versions

The Bluetooth standard is constantly being updated for added features and functionality; the latest version is v.2.0
Bluetooth Security and Interference

How Secure is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth employs several layers of data encryption and user authentication Bluetooth devices use a combination of the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and a Bluetooth address to identify other Bluetooth devices Data encryption (128-bit) can be used to further enhance security Bluetooth radios use a fast frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technique, allowing only synchronized radios to access the transmitted data

Security Tips

Bluetooth devices are most vulnerable during the pairing (bonding) process Never leave your Bluetooth device in visible mode Take precautions when pairing new devices; pair only in secure locations and never accept anything from an unknown Bluetooth device
