Relevant Background on Bluetooth: "Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances using UHF radio waves in the industrial, scientific and medical radio bands, from 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz, and building personal area networks (PANs). It was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables....Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), which has more than 35,000 member companies in the areas of telecommunication, computing, networking, and consumer electronics. ... As of 2009, Bluetooth integrated circuit chips ship approximately 920 million units annually...

List of applications


  • Wireless control and communication between a mobile phone and a handsfree headset. This was one of the earliest applications to become popular.[29]
  • Wireless control of and communication between a mobile phone and a Bluetooth compatible car stereo system (and sometimes between the SIM card and the car phone[30][31]).
  • Wireless communication between a smartphone and a smart lock for unlocking doors.
  • Wireless control of and communication with iOS and Android device phones, tablets and portable wireless speakers.[32]
  • Wireless Bluetooth headset and Intercom. Idiomatically, a headset is sometimes called "a Bluetooth".
  • Wireless streaming of audio to headphones with or without communication capabilities.
  • Wireless streaming of data collected by Bluetooth-enabled fitness devices to phone or PC.[33]
  • Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where little bandwidth is required.[34]
  • Wireless communication with PC input and output devices, the most common being the mouse, keyboard and printer.
  • Transfer of files, contact details, calendar appointments, and reminders between devices with OBEX[a] and sharing directories via FTP.[35]
  • Replacement of previous wired RS-232 serial communications in test equipment, GPS receivers, medical equipment, bar code scanners, and traffic control devices.
  • For controls where infrared was often used.
  • For low bandwidth applications where higher USB bandwidth is not required and cable-free connection desired.
  • Sending small advertisements from Bluetooth-enabled advertising hoardings to other, discoverable, Bluetooth devices.[36]
  • Wireless bridge between two Industrial Ethernet (e.g., PROFINET) networks.
  • Seventh and eighth generation game consoles such as Nintendo's Wii,[37] and Sony's PlayStation 3 use Bluetooth for their respective wireless controllers.
  • Dial-up internet access on personal computers or PDAs using a data-capable mobile phone as a wireless modem.
  • Short-range transmission of health sensor data from medical devices to mobile phone, set-top box or dedicated telehealth devices.[38][39]
  • Allowing a DECT phone to ring and answer calls on behalf of a nearby mobile phone.
  • Real-time location systems (RTLS) are used to track and identify the location of objects in real time using "Nodes" or "tags" attached to, or embedded in, the objects tracked, and "Readers" that receive and process the wireless signals from these tags to determine their locations.[40]
  • Personal security application on mobile phones for prevention of theft or loss of items. The protected item has a Bluetooth marker (e.g., a tag) that is in constant communication with the phone. If the connection is broken (the marker is out of range of the phone) then an alarm is raised. This can also be used as a man overboard alarm. A product using this technology has been available since 2009.[41]
  • Calgary, Alberta, Canada's Roads Traffic division uses data collected from travelers' Bluetooth devices to predict travel times and road congestion for motorists.[42]
  • Wireless transmission of audio (a more reliable alternative to FM transmitters)
  • Connection of motion controllers to a PC when using VR headsets.." ("Bluetooth", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth)
