Bluetooth Explained! New Bluetooth 5.. #TechInformatics01


Bluetooth a most common word which is exactly not a word, it is a technology uses "Networking Science" to establish a connection between two devices. Well, we say that we know about Bluetooth but I must tell you most of us just use it, but don't know how it works. We just know that it is a wireless medium, we use to share data or establish a wireless connection from one Bluetooth device to other. This isn't enough we know about it. Isn't it curious to learn about a  technology that we operate and interact with every day and most of the time at this level?

First, we start with what we know i.e. Bluetooth is wireless medium to share data and make the connection between two devices, so the question is How it make this wireless connection? and this we can understand by that "Networking Science". A Bluetooth device uses radio waves instead of wires, the information or data carried by radio waves. A small chip which is able to send and receive radio waves is being installed in the devices which makes them Bluetooth enabled, to establish the connection between two devices via Bluetooth these chips send the radio waves carrying pairing request to the other end device which also packed with one of these chips which receive the packet data containing that pairing request and after being processed and confirmation on both ends, both devices are connected to each other.
Now after the connection is established the devices communicate in the same way and we also share data as well as use some Bluetooth music players, remote, mouse, etc. by sending radio waves, processing, receiving radio waves, processing, sending confirmation. This flow of data is bidirectional and also works on the reverse flow. Devices like Bluetooth music player, mouse, remote works this process Sending Information, Receiving Information, Processing, Apply the instruction received in information. So in these devices the source device sends instruction like in case of music player the device let us suppose a mobile phone sends instruction to the player to play the song, on the other end the player having a Bluetooth chip programmed for that instruction will receive the instruction and after processing it will apply that instruction to instruct the music player's circuit to play the music. Here is the working of Bluetooth explained. I am not discussing the history, development and other stuff like that because these question will possibly never be asked in any entrance examination and they are not relevant, though.

Let us take a view on the current statistics also

  • In the current scenario 2 of every 3 prefers Bluetooth in any device they want to buy.
  • It is estimated that 13.9Billion wireless product will be shipped by 2020.
  • 1 of every 3 wireless product includes Bluetooth technology by 2020.

Now let us move on to the latest Bluetooth 5

What's New? 
Bluetooth SIG(Special Interest Group) claims the following specs.
  • 4X Range
  • 2X Speed 
  • 8X Broadcast message capacity
  • This enhancement of Bluetooth 5 focus on increasing the functionality of Bluetooth for the IoT
Features
  • Increasing the speed and reducing error proximity in this generation will make the connection seamless, fast and reliable which will decrease the connection barrier which results in developing the IoT(Internet of Things) solution which requires range, speed, and reliability of connection and all these increase the connectivity of complete home without compromising security.
  • In this current scenario approximately 10Billion devices are equipped with Bluetooth which makes it a universal mode of connectivity, and as the newer version also sports, the connectivity to the previous ones increases its coexistence.
  • This version of Bluetooth is fast, precise, secure as well as uses less power than the previous one.Which ensures the high performance of a device and its usability in industrial automation because of its less power consumption.
  • Also a good news for developers as its features coexistence, it coexists with other technologies which opens up tons of opportunities for developers to develop and create more wireless tech. this version includes with updates that reduce the potential interference of other wireless technologies to ensure that Bluetooth devices can coexist within the complex global IoT environment.
So this is all I made my point on.If you liked then please give this post a like and want more of it then follow my "blog" along with my social handle. If you have something more then you are most welcome with suggestion or any improvement you want .
With all your queries, suggestion and requests contact me via my social handles, and note it down to follow in case you forget.

HOPE you liked it stay tuned will be back. Till then BREAK THE SHOW! BE THE PRO!  PEACE!
