How Bluetooth Technology Has Changed The Way We Communicate

The advances in technology in the past century have been extraordinary. From simple local communication abilities, to global, the world has been taking great strides in making technology a part of your daily life. The last few years have brought forth some truly unique technology, with the amount of wireless capabilities and products.

Bluetooth technology is by far at the front of the technological train. Bluetooth has changed the way we talk to people on phones from where we work. Some new products from Bluetooth have proved unique in that there are few like them.

Cell phones with bluetooth technology are completely wireless and compatible with your computer, PDA, Mp3 player, and now navigational system in your car. You no longer have to hold a phone and drive; the Bluetooth has allowed the phone to stay in your pocket as the car kit and phone become voice activated. If you would like to call someone you can simply speak the name and the phone will dial. You have the option of an earpiece and microphone or a system routed through your vehicles radio system. Whichever you choose this technology is sure to make talking on the phone much safer if you are driving.

Another interesting new technology with Bluetooth technology is the digital pen. The digital pen works with digital paper, writing just as you would with normal pens. You can simply write in your own handwriting on the digital paper and then place the pen in its home by your computer. The computer will upload the images from the pen right on to your computer. These pens may prove very handy for artists who would like to preserve some of the ideas they have without having to mess with a copier and scanner. The digital pen will also be useful for signature pages, you will not have to print and sign anymore, and you can sign the digital paper and upload on your computer with a touch of a button.

For navigational purposes there is nothing like the new product TomTom. This product has Bluetooth technology to give the most accurate directions available. With satellite navigation, it is currently in use in both Europe and North America. You can speak to the navigational system asking for directions to wherever you are going and TomTom will guide the way. No more time spent driving around lost or skipping the scenic route due to the chances of becoming lost. TomTom is so simple to use even a small child can operate it and get directions.

When you are in the market for new unique technological products Bluetooth has many to choose from. The advancement of wireless services is making life easier and more products accessible to people around the world.

The Bluetooth Solution

The technology of Bluetooth will take small area networking to the next level by removing the need for user intervention and help keep transmission power very low to preserve battery power. Each transmission signal to and from your cellular phone will use just 1 mw of power, giving you plenty of space on your battery to talk.

Bluetooth is a networking standard that will work on two levels: 1. It will provide agreement at the physical level, as Bluetooth is a radio frequency standard. 2. It will provide agreement at the level of protocol, where products will have to agree on when bits are sent, how many are sent, and how the parties in conversation can be sure the message recieved is the same one that was sent.

The major draws to Bluetooth is the fact that it's wireless, inexpensive, and automatic. There are other ways to get around wires, including infrared. Infrared uses light waves of a lower frequency than the human eye can, and is normally used in television remote controls.

The technology of Bluetooth is intended to get around the problems that normally come with infrared systems. The 1.0 older standard of Bluetooth has a max transfer speed of 1 MB a second, while the 2.0 Bluetooth standard can manage up to 3.0 MB a second. To make things better, 2.0 is compatible with 1.0 devices.

As a solution to wireless, Bluetooth will eliminate the need for messy cords, keeping everything nice and neat. It's perfect for those who like to talk on cell phones, as you no longer need to hold the phone next to your ear - which is great for those who travel a lot.

    Wireless Networking is gaining much popularity in these days. People often believe that it is hard to configure a wireless network and especially it becomes a nightmare for a home user. Which consider a Wireless network something that is big task and can be accomplished only by the net guys.

    Let suppose that you are having two desktops and one laptop computer. You may need following equipment to make a wireless network.

    A Wireless router ( I proffered to use LinkSys Wireless Router and Access Point)

    LAN wires for two desktops

    An Internet connection (if you need to share Internet as well)

    Now Place the router to some proper place that seems good for your network and also helps you to extend the range. Now follow the following steps;

    Power on the Wireless Router.

    Connect the two desktop PCs to Router by using LAN Wire. (As soon as you will connect the desktops to Router , you will see the two LAN LCD's in front of Router will start blinking)

    Now Plug your Cable Modem cable into the Internet slot of the Router. (you can omit this step if you do not want to share Internet connection.

    Now use any desktop PC and open your favorite browser.

    Type 192.168.1.1 and press enter.

    You will see a login prompt.

    Enter ???admin??? in password field and press enter. (If you are using the Router other then the LinkSys, Please consult your manual to find out the default password and user name.)

    As soon as you successfully logged in , you will see page which will show router configuration will show that your router is configured with default settings and it is ready for the use.

    Now right click on your LAN Network connection and select ???Properties???, a new window will pop up.

    Double click on ???Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP)??? properties and click on ???obtain an IP address automatically??? and ???obtain DNS server address automatically???.

    Now reboot your PCs and also switched off and then on your cable modem.
