Knowing More About Bluetooth For Computers

By Alexandra Brown


Bluetooth is becoming more and more popular at his time. Not only can it be found in mobile phones, but it also is very useful in other gadgets such computers. For us to be able to understand more about this discussion, let us first talk about what Bluetooth really is. Bluetooth is a kind of technology that has the ability to interact and exchange data with other Bluetooth-enabled device and it is a wireless system protocol just like many other communication protocols such as FTP, HTTP, SMTP and IMAP. Unlike the slow moving world that we had before, this kind of technology helps people to keep up with a fast paced world. It is known to most people that the method of communication before is primitive and slow. With the help of technological advancements, newer methods and ways are now available to be utilized for man to have faster communication process.

With the discovery of Bluetooth in 1994, transferring of files has been technologically advanced. Bluetooth technology was first used to solve the problems of device synchronization by the telecoms vendor ericsson. Because of its ability to transfer files from one communication data to another device or gadget using only a low frequency of 2.45 GHz, Bluetooth technology is has become more and more popularly used not only in mobile devices but as well as in other gadgets or devices such as the computer.

Another good thing about Bluetooth technology is that it cannot interrupt other electronic device since it is only using weak signals that consume only 1mw. Compared to other devices that has the potential to interrupts and disrupts data communication, use of Bluetooth is deemed harmless.

There may be some people that do not know how to add Bluetooth enabled devices to their computer. This is the reason why we will discuss what things that you need in order to know if your device and computer are ready to be connected:

1. First thing to do is to check whether your computer has built in Bluetooth adapter. If you found out that it has no built in Bluetooth adapter, add it yourself by plugging it to a USB port. Nowadays, a lot of computers, including laptops come with built-in Bluetooth adapter. You can either turn on the Bluetooth switch on your laptop or turn on the adapter for you to be able to use the Bluetooth function of your computer. If you are not sure regarding the availability of built-in Bluetooth adapter in your computer, checking the manual will be helpful. The manual may also provide you with information on how to turn your Bluetooth adapter on.

2. Next thing that you need to do is setting up the Bluetooth-enabled device so that your computer will be able to find it. You can do this by turning the device on and making sure that it is discoverable. Once the device is in discoverable mode, it sends a wireless signal to other Bluetooth-enabled devices that allows it to be detected by other mobile phones, computers and other devices. Thus you will be able to pair your Bluetooth-enabled device to your computer and this is also called the pairing mode.

Other advantages of Bluetooth technology over using wires and cable connectors is its ability to reach about 32 feet and being wireless and automatic. Because of this, people are now able to disregard using cable wires and connectors which usually end up being accidentally tied which may be a hassle for some if not most.
