Bluetooth?

Bluetooth?

In coordination with recent legislations pounded down on frustrated and frazzled motorists throughout Ireland, Bluetooth inevitably has established itself as a personal favourite to scores of commuting and commercial drivers alike, posing a hassle free, points free option to communication whilst driving on the road. Considering the recent leaps and bounds undertaken within the world of technology, its hardly surprising Bluetooth has blasted its way onto the Irish motoring scene. We all hear the term on a daily basis, but what exactly is Bluetooth?

By 2012 it is anticipated a third of new production vehicles will feature wireless Bluetooth communication links as standard, in attempt to offer an easy hands free solution to communication within your car. In summary, Bluetooth is a communications system working within short range, aimed at replacing the cables and wires of fixed and portable electronic devices. Working through a transceiver, the technology allows two devices to be connected wirelessly, allowing simple unrestrained use, i.e connecting your portable Mp3 player to your car stereo without the aid of wiring. Mobile phones, Laptops and headsets can now be connected through BT technology also. Whilst travelling in the car though, its possible uses are paramount. In replacement of a hands free kit, BT can be used in conjunction with an earpiece connection to your mobile phone wirelessly.

Planted forward by the government ensuring a no-tolerance strategy, chatting on your mobile whilst driving can get a straight run of two penalty points and fixed fine sum. Suddenly slamming into action in attempt to decrease the increasing number of fatalities on our roads, Minister for transport Martin Cullin has placed a plan to crack a whip down on drivers who Drink and Drive, speed and/or talk on their mobile phones whilst on road carelessly.

?The campaign to make our roads safer will take a major step forward, the message to motorists is clear, if you hold a mobile phone while driving, you will be caught and punished.? Under section three of the road traffic act 2006, holding a mobile phone whilst driving is taken as a committed offence, even in case of such matters as whether it has been powered on or off at the time relevant. In avoidance of a hefty points haul and fine payment, it is highly recommendable to take action by applying a Bluetooth application to your phone. Most fresh phones offer a Bluetooth setting and optional headset, ideal for conversing whilst on the move. Installing Bluetooth to your car is also highly simple and inexpensive, starting from just sixty Euro onwards for standard kit. Bluetooth has established itself firmly as an innovative yet essential piece of kit for the modern day driver.

With possible introduction of additional bi-laws including an expanding regime targeting provisional Liscenced drivers, the minister intends to keep younger drivers wedged into a lane of fear, also not taking into consideration the extreme extent of his Driver test waiting catalogue, with waiting time in excess of 50 weeks per body. Possibly BT technology may produce a breaktrough assisting provisional drivers in getting their driving test on a sooner basis, or perhaps Cullin will take into consideration the extent of people over which he intends to smash his ever growing list of rule, most likely not. Most likely Cullin has developed a ?Sweet-Tooth? for his recent law enforcing frenzy, with Bluetooth a possible option to escaping the penalty points clocking up regime.

What is Bluetooth: A World Without Wires

Bluetooth technology was created in order to allow ordinary technology users to enjoy the benefits of low bandwidth wireless connections. Bluetooth is a low power, short-range technology that allows wireless networking. It is able to do this by using radio waves to send and receive data at up to 720 kilobits per second.

Bluetooth Specs

The specifications for Bluetooth devices allows for different classes of radio transmission ranges. These ranges can reach up to about 300 feet by boosting the radio power. This technology isn't limited to line of sight as the waves it utilizes are directional waves, which are capable of transmitting through various obstructions.

Industry Standard

Bluetooth is quickly becoming the standard as far as wireless communication is concerned. The real beauty of Bluetooth is the fact that it goes far beyond the most commonly recognized uses and connects all manner of devices. Not only cell phones, but also computers, digital cameras, PDAs, laptops, and any number of other digital devices. The specifications for Bluetooth are defined as a radio system that has a 'stack' of protocols, layers, and profiles. The highest layer is the actual application with lower layer being the radio.

Wireless technology such as that offered by Bluetooth is in a position to completely revolutionize our ability to be connected and share information by allowing us to go wireless and eliminating the need for strings.

Bluetooth eliminates the need for cables and wires while providing connectivity on a level we've never experienced before. This low cost solution links computers, cell phones, and any manner of other Bluetooth enabled devices quickly and easily.

Bluetooth is also a sturdy link, which will allow you to go about business as usual rather than worry that a connection is going to be impaired because of its wireless nature. Bluetooth has shown none of the ordinary weaknesses of other wireless devices to interference and constant interruption by other devices operating on the same frequencies.

Another benefit to Bluetooth is that it operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, which allows it to be license free and widely available throughout the world. No matter where you are, it is quite likely that your Bluetooth device will work.

Security is another matter that is often weak with electronic devices, particularly those with wireless connections. Bluetooth offers advanced mechanisms to ensure your security and that of your information. It is very difficult for your data to be compromised or your conversations heard with Bluetooth.

Another great feature of Bluetooth is its ability to optimize its power consumption. The radio feature is very power friendly and the device itself only consumes a minimal amount of power that it 'borrows' from a cell phone.

Bluetooth Security

These days, all communication technology faces the issue of privacy and identity theft, with Bluetooth being no exception. Almost everyone knows that email services and networks require security. What users of Bluetooth need to realize is that Bluetooth also requires security measures as well.

The good news for Bluetooth users is that the security scares, like most scares, are normally over dramatized and blown entirely out of proportion. The truth being told, these issues are easy to manage, with various measures already in place to provide security for Bluetooth technology.

It's true that there has been some Bluetooth phones that have been hacked into. Most devices that are hacked into are normally those that don't have any type of security at all.

According to Bluetooth specialists, in order to hack into a Bluetooth device, the hacker must: 1. Force two paired devices to break their connection. 2. Steal the packets that are used to resend the pin. 3. Decode the pin.

Of course, the hacker must also be within range of the device, and using very expensive developer type equipment. Most specialists recommend that you have a longer pin, with 8 digits being recommended.

Fundamentals of security The "pairing process" is one of the most basic levels of security for Bluetooth devices. Pairing, is two or more Bluetooth devices that recognize each other by the profiles they share - in most cases they both must enter the same pin.

The core specifications for Bluetooth use an encryption algorithm, which is completely and entirely secure. Once the devices pair with each other, they too become entirely secure.

Until they have successfully paired, the Bluetooth devices won't communicate with each other. Due to this pairing process and the fact that it is short range - Bluetooth technology is considered to be secure.

As the news has indicated, experienced hackers have developed ways to get around this level of basic security. There are ways to get around this threat, as you can install software to prevent hackers from getting in.

With Bluetooth becoming more and more popular, it's really no wonder that security is always in question. As Bluetooth gets bigger and better, security will always be something that no one really takes lightly.

If you've been concerned about Bluetooth security in the past, rest assured that newer devices will offer bigger and better security. Preventing hackers from getting in is something every owner is concerned about - and the manufacturer's are very aware.

    Wireless Networking: The Cutting Edge Of Technology, Part 2

    The new technologies that are available to construct, and connect to wireless networks is unbelievable. You can connect to a wireless network with a laptop through Wi-Fi, GSM, and even through satellite data cards. Many businesses are creating free ?hotspots? that allow their patrons access to the internet to conduct business, or just send a friend an email. Many car manufacturers are now offering satellite broadband internet access from within a certain distance of the car, so that people can get an internet connection while they are traveling. Many new types of cell phones and PDAs will allow you to check your email, get your contacts, your calendar, and even access certain web pages right from the phone. Right now many web pages are not easily viewed, or fully functional on a cell phone or PDA, but many programmers and web designers are working on making their web sites more accessible from all forms of wireless devices.

    Many other forms of wireless devices are now being developed that will allow information to be obtained in real-time over great distances. RFID has revolutionized process chain management, because now businesses can track their product from manufacturing to delivery, and everywhere in between. New technologies have been developed recently that allow RFID wireless networks to be formed that can calculate distances between the different devices contained within the network. This will allow a sort of ?smart? network to be formed that will allow the devices to ?know? when one is on the move, or if one has been lost. Another very important development in recent years is the use of GPS tracking and navigation. Now we have the ability to know exactly where our products are, and where they are going so we can ensure shipment delivery in a timely manner. When all of these wireless networks are tied together an efficient and productive business can be sure to follow. Wireless networks are a must in this new on-demand world that we live in. If you do not keep up with the times, then you will be quickly left behind.:
