Bluetooth Vendors and Manufacturers: A Comprehensive Guide

bluetooth wireless technology product vendor manufacturer bluetooth device

This tutorial section covers Bluetooth basics, including:

  • Frequency
  • PHY Layer
  • MAC Layer
  • Stack
  • Power classes
  • Security
  • Product versions

Bluetooth is widely used for copying data between wireless mobile and fixed devices. It serves as a headset for hands-free use and is implemented in numerous electronic devices, eliminating the need for wired connections in keyboards, mice, and more. Devices communicate in the 2.4GHz ISM band using a master-slave configuration, supporting up to 8 slaves.

It facilitates information transfer at a rate of 1 Mbps. Newer Bluetooth releases (V3, V4, and V4.1) support even higher speeds.

Bluetooth employs GFSK modulation. Due to its limited operating area, it’s also referred to as a Personal Area Network (PAN).
