| Where can I get Bluetooth specification? Is it license free? |
Bluetooth specification can be downloaded from
Bluetooth.com which has more comprehensive information about Bluetooth.com and
its SIG. It is totally free and no license is required to use it |
| What is the latest version of the Bluetooth specification? |
On November 5, 2003, the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) released version 1.2 of the Bluetooth Specification.The new
specification will usher in a new generation of products that will have better
audio quality, coexist better with Wi-Fi, and connect faster and more reliably.</em>
The goal of version 1.2 of the Bluetooth Specification was not to introduce new
functionality, but rather to improve on the functionality from the previous
version of the specification, version 1.1. These improvements target two
fundamental areas, quality and speed, and do so in ways that are transparent to
the end user. This means that the user doesn't have to re-learn how to use
Bluetooth version 1.2 products. |
| What is a Personal Area Network (PAN)? |
A Personal Area Network
is another name for a Bluetooth Piconet |
| Are different brands of Bluetooth products compatible? |
Yes. They have to. The Bluetooth Logo
Certification Program requires Bluetooth products to interoperate with products
manufactured by other vendors; those products that don't interoperate will not
be allowed to use the Bluetooth logo |

Why is the range of my Bluetooth device less than the advertised range?
Your Bluetooth device will only work according to the advertised range if you
are in a perfect lab environment. Range will depend greatly on the environment
in which the equipment operates. If your device is not working at a certain
distance, either you have crossed the range or there are limitations
(obstructions) within the area that you are using the device. |
