Abstract

Bluetooth is a new short-range wireless technology designed to enable wireless communication between diverse devices. It is gaining increasing popularity and acceptance in the world today. There is a growing body of research on the subject, but very few, if any of the analyses, provide a balanced view of the technology, which describe its pros and cons and implications for businesses. This paper attempts to critically analyze the Bluetooth technology from a various perspectives. It begins with a description of the technology in terms of its hardware, software, and network infrastructure. Then it addresses the related issues of interference, security, and reliability. This microanalysis is followed by a larger macroanalytical view, which includes the advantages of this technology, its role in the global third generation (3G) wireless scheme, health/safety issues, and business implications. It concludes with the applications of Bluetooth and its future potential.
