Let's Talk About Bluetooth®

What is Bluetooth and what are its advantages? 

Bluetooth links two devises together, without wires.  It was the first true secure wireless exchange of data across several different devices like phones, keyboards and now with the popularity of headphones.

Why is Bluetooth called Bluetooth? 

It's a pretty funny name, but it makes more sense when you know it comes from the Danish King, Harold Blatand (pronounced BLA-TEN'D)who had an amazing way of bringing people and territory's together.

The English translation of "Blatand (pronounced BLA-TEN'D)- you guessed it, Bluetooth.

Today, Bluetooth is still bringing us together and has helped millions of devices all around the world work together, too.  From the person talking on a headset or listening to music on their wireless headphones, making a hands-free call in their car, they're all using Bluetooth.  And it's pretty easy to do!

How does Bluetooth work?  

Well, Bluetooth devices have a tiny radio transmitter that can send information over short distances, normally within thirty feet from your device.  The two devices you want to pair are both sending out signals, and when they are within range of each other, you can pair them together.  Once paired?  Voila! Your phone, speakers, car, and computer - can now share music, voice, data, photos, videos, and more.
