Bluetooth has over 1.5 billion devices after 10 years of birth

Appeared in 1998, but two years later, short-range wireless connectivity technology called "personal networks" really took off. Since 2000, the number of products approved by the Bluetooth Association (SIG) has increased 13 times a year.

Bluetooth allows electronic devices to communicate with each other without wires. This technique consumes relatively little power and is inexpensive to deploy, although network speeds are somewhat slower than Wi-Fi. Therefore, it is suitable for applications where the amount of data transmission is small.

Not receiving a strong response from PC makers, this technology spread rapidly in the mobile phone industry. The Bluetooth 2.0 version with increased bandwidth has attracted the interest of integrated multimedia devices manufacturers for wireless stereo headsets.

One of the positive companies that use Bluetooth is Apple. For years, they have continued to implement this standard so that Mac products can easily connect to keyboards, mice, and data synchronization with mobile phones, PDAs, printers, and more. other types of devices.
