| | WHITE PAPER : BLUETOOTH AND BLUETOOTH INTERNET ACCESS POINTS | | 2006-06-18 06:50:51 | | Bluetooth is a specification for a radio solution that is small form-factor, low-cost, and low power,that provides seamless wireless connectivity between notebook computers, cellular phones and other portable handheld devices. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is comprised of leaders in the telecommunications, computing, and networking industries who are driving the development ofthe technology to bring it to market. The Bluetooth SIG includes promoter companies such as 3Com, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Lucent, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba, and over 2000 other adopter/associate member companies.Bluetooth operates in the license-free 2.4GHz ISM band at a link range of 10 meters. With improved transmission power and receiving sensitivity the range can be increased up to 100 meters. Bluetooth is expected to be a standard feature on the next generation Smart Phones, PDAs and computers.The wireless Personal Area Networking (PAN) of mobile devices including notebooks, PDAs, Smart Phones, Web-pads, headsets, and digital cameras is driving Bluetooth development. PAN provides synchronization of a notebook and a PDA, file transfer between a notebook and a digital camera, and voice communications between a Smart Phone and a cordless headset.BLUETOOTH MARKETNamed after the 10th century Danish King, Harold Bluetooth who unified Scandinavia, Bluetooth technology is the worldwide industry standard that provides point to multipoint, radio frequency (RF) connectivity. Today 2 the Special Interest Group (SIG) comprises of more than 2000 companies in various industries includingcomputing, telecommunications, networking, automotive, consumer electronics, military, medical, industrial and others. The technology aims to offer easy, quick, reliable and secure device-to-device connectivity at a short range.Specification 1.0 and 1.0b were released in 5/99 and 12/99 respectively. Various chips, modules, and add-on products have been announced.

Since then, SiliconWave has introduced their RF and baseband solution, Philips has announced the TrueBlue module based on the Philips transceiver and basedband. Lucent, Philips, Qualcomm and STMicro have been reported to license the Bluetooth IP from Ericsson. Other vendorslike CSR, OKI, and Infineon have also announced their respective Bluetooth chip set solutions. These first generation Bluetooth silicon solutions are based on three architectures: the ASIC plus RF chip (Ericsson), the DSP plus RF chip (Motorola and National), or a single chip CMOS implementing both RF and baseband (CSR). Moreover, three different silicon technologies are used: BiCMOS (Ericsson), CMOS (OKI and CSR), and Silicon-on-Insulator (SiliconWave).SmartPhones are one of the first devices to incorporate Bluetooth. Ericsson and Motorola have announced their respective cell phone products, the Ericsson R520 and the Timeport 270. Motorola has also introduced its Bluetooth PC cards and USB devices through its Digianswer group. In August, Intel announced its Amblermodule technology for notebook support. Palm has demonstrated Bluetooth-enabled handheld computers at Cebit 2000. Handspring has shown a Bluetooth Springboard solution made by Widcomm. Last but not least, Toshiba has started shipping their Bluetooth PC card for its notebook products.BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGYA typical implementation of Bluetooth includes the RF, baseband, HCI interface, and host stack software.RFBluetooth operates in the license-free 2.4-2.4835GHz ISM band by frequency hopping at a rate of 1600 hops/s within 79 1MHz channels. Japan, France and Spain have a smaller band but these issues are being resolved.Bluetooth supports 10-meter range and 1Mbps rate and a 100-meter range with improved transmission power and receiving sensitivity.BASEBANDA wireless PAN, more often referred to as a Piconet, provides the cable replacement for connectivity among various devices such as a notebook PC to a cell phone, a cell phone to a headset, a PDA to a notebook, a cell phone to PSTN, a notebook/PDA to Internet and LAN, and other ad-hoc networking applications. Multiple devices (256 parked, 8 active) can participate in a Piconet.Bluetooth Internet Access PointWe believe that the following features are important for a Bluetooth Internet Access Point based on LAP:· Standards Compatibility: Supports standard Bluetooth-enabled devices including Smart Phones withoutsoftware modifications· Extended Range and Sensitivity: Increased from 10 meters to 40-100 meters of range while conforming tothe Bluetooth specification· Seamless Internet Connectivity: Provides seamless multiple access for standard Internet content· Low Cost Implementation: Targets mass market adoption FURTHER DETAILShttp://mohanitguy.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss | | By: IT World | | |
