The History of Bluetooth
In 1989, Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson asked two engineers to develop a “short-link” radio technology standard to transmit signals between a personal computer to wireless headsets they were planning to launch. The inventors successfully developed a way to unite the PC and cellular industries,and the technology was formally announced in 1998 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).
Since first launching, Bluetooth technology has undergone several revisions to improve data speeds and connection quality. In recent years, upgrade efforts have been focusing on improved networking, lower energy use and longer-range capabilities.
According to the Bic Graphic Blog, some key dates that helped bring Bluetooth technology to promo products include:
- 1998 – The Bluetooth SIG is formed
- 2000 – The first Bluetooth mobile phone is launched
- 2003 – The first Bluetooth MP3 player debuts with Bluetooth technology
- 2006 – Bluetooth wireless reaches an installed base of 1 billion devices
- 2011 – Both Apple and Microsoft announce the support of Bluetooth technology in mobile devices and PCs
- 2016 – The SIG announces Bluetooth 5 with more range, faster speeds and increased data broadcasting capacity
- 2018 – Membership at SIG hits 35,000 companies as Bluetooth celebrates 20 years of innovation
Bluetooth technology permits up to eight devices to be paired together to form a network, with each device functioning as an individual component. To make this work, the devices need to use network protocols under a uniform spec.
