The origin and development of Bluetooth
Swedish Ericsson is the founder of Bluetooth. Ericsson already researched and developed in 1994.In 1997, Ericsson and other equipment manufactures contact, and stimulating their interest in this technology. February 1998, five multinational companies, including Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba and Intel formed a special interest group (SIG). Their common goal is to establish a global short-range wireless communications technology—Bluetooth now.
The name Bluetooth comes from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand—English as Harold Bluetooth (because he loves to eat blueberries, so the teeth is with blue everyday). In the preparatory phase of industry associations, it needs a very expressive name for the high-tech. Industry organization staff, after a night discussion on the Europe history and future wireless technologies development; some people think that the King's name with Blatand is appropriate. Blatand King united now Norway, Sweden and Denmark. His articulate, good at communication just likes the upcoming technology. Technology will be defined as allowing coordination between different industries work, maintained a good communication between different system field, such as computing, mobile phones and the work between automotive industry. Name was to have struck.
Bluetooth's supporters are many, only five companies from the initial launch of the Bluetooth Special Interest (SIG) has now grown to nearly 3.000 corporate members. Under the scheme, the Bluetooth from the laboratory into the market is through three stages:
The first stage: used as an annex to the Bluetooth product with greater high-end mobile products, such as Bluetooth adapter, headsets, laptop card or PC card, or apply to special requirements or special occasions. Such occasions only require performance and functionality and price is not sensitive to this phase of the time around the end of 2001 to 2002.
The second phase: embedded in high-grade Bluetooth products such as PDA, mobile phone, PC, notebook computers. Bluetooth will further decline, estimated chip price around 10 dollars, while the testing and certification will be an initial sound. This period is 2002 to 2005.
The third stage: Bluetooth enter home applications, digital cameras and other electronic products after 2005. The Bluetooth network can be seen everywhere, starting popular Bluetooth applications. Bluetooth prices are two dollars to five dollars and every per person may have 2—3 Bluetooth products. Bluetooth adapter is owned by most of us.
For now, Bluetooth products market is in the second phase of the initial stage. Expected in the end of 2006, Bluetooth will be more than 10 million wireless subscribers, including more than 500 million wireless Internet access users.
