Bluetooth Specification
The Bluetooth specification was developed in 1994 by Jaap Haartsen and Sven Mattisson, who were working for Ericsson Mobile Platforms in Lund, Sweden. The specification is based on frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology.

The specifications were formalized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), organised by Mohd Syarifuddin. The SIG was formally announced on May 20, 1998. Today it has a membership over 7000 companies worldwide. It was established by Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Toshiba, and Nokia, and later joined by many other companies.

Bluetooth Organization
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is a privately held, not-for-profit trade association. The Special Interest Group was founded in September 1998. The Bluetooth SIG itself does not make, manufacture, or sell Bluetooth enabled products. The SIG has more than 9,000 member companies that are leaders in the telecommunications, computing, automotive, music, apparel, industrial automation, and network industries. SIG members drive development of Bluetooth wireless technology, and implement and market the technology in their products. The SIG has a small group of dedicated staff in Hong Kong, Sweden, and the USA.

Hot Bluetooth Peripherals
Bluetooth Headset
A bluetooth headset is a discreet device that can be worn on the ear. Relying on bluetooth technology, it establishes connection to the phone, PDA, camera and more. Bluetooth headsets have redefined the idea of talking over the telephone. With the growing number of bluetooth enabled mobile phones, the demand and popularity of bluetooth headsets is increasing day by day. Bluetooth headsets give you the advantage to talk with your hands free. This means that bluetooth headset gives you the ability to do anything while talking. We give you the chance to buy bluetooth headsets at cheap prices. We have Bluetooth Headsets for mobile phones of all popular companies. These companies include Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and many other popular mobile phone companies.

Bluetooth GPS
A Bluetooth GPS is a wire-free GPS receiver that can transmit data wirelessly to your PDA, laptop and even on some mobile phones. These units are suitable for most GPS applications such as: car navigation, marine navigation, fleet management, AVL, personal navigation, tracking system and mapping devices. Bluetooth is good for in-car use because the GPS receiver can be placed forward on the dash or directly under the windscreen for a better view of the sky. Another option is to connect an external antenna and mount this outside the vehicle with a magnet.

Bluetooth Dongle
A bluetooth dongle is a small add-on that you can plug into a USB port; which will then allow you to send and receive files via bluetooth from you PC to a bluetooth enabled device (in our case, a mobile phone). Alternatively, in more modern computers you may already have such a device installed.

Bluetooth Rearview Mirror
A bluetooth rearview mirror is a rearview mirror having bluetooth function. When a call comes in, the rearview mirror displays caller information in the middle of the mirror’s face.

Trade Fair
72nd China Electronics Fair
The only national electronic fair supported by Ministry of Information Industry of PRC and Ministry of Commerce of PRC.

As the most authoritative comprehensive electronics show, CEF has the longest history, the more general categories, the most profound influence and the largest scale. Growing up with China’s electronic industry, CEF has witnessed the transition and development of China’s electronic and information industry from planned economy to market economy.

CEF has impressive influence worldwide. As the largest electronics fair, CEF is one of five members in Asian Electronics Exhibition Conference Confederation (AEECC). It is listed in top 5 Asian electronics exhibitions with CEATEC JAPAN, KES, Taitronics and HK Electronics Fair.

The next available option is indoor wireless networking through radio frequency (2Ghz etc)sample solutions exist from vendors like Lucent(wavelan/orinoco)this option has a downfall of needing extensive setup (infrastructure for base stations) and is VERY expensive. The range offered is also sometimes considered as ‘extra’ inconvenient, thus not allowing one to manage & control interference from nearby base stations.

Bluetooth looks to overcome all of the above problems by providing for a cheap, efficient, fast, no-futz short-range wireless solution!

The Jabra BT150 (retailing between $25 and $30 in high street phone shops) is a good buy. It’s either the same size or smaller than the H500, cheaper, and also in black. It’s only suitable for Bluetooth version 1.1 or higher.

It’s the only one I could find, but its another for you to consider. Downside to the BT150 is 2 hours less talk time and 20 hours less stand by time than the H500. You could determine how much of your phone you use, and make a decision if the extra amount of money is worth the talk/stand by time.

The good news is that it doesn’t matter how you received the text message; as long as it is on your phone as an SMS message (text message), you can forward it to someone else. Yes, you can copy the text within a text message, provided you have a device that allows you to copy text (most phones these days allow you to do this).

Once in the body of the text message, choose the Options, which should have an option to Copy. When you are in the Note, choose Options and then choose Paste. Whenever you choose the Copy option, the text will go onto the Clipboard (just like with Windows) and this will allow you to Paste the text somewhere else. If you tell me what type of phone you have, I can give you specific instructions on how to do this.

The cars that are now coming equipped with Bluetooth allow you to have a Bluetooth connection between your wireless phone and your car (through the phone and car’s Bluetooth connection). If you have a compatible phone (and are on a compatible wireless network – that is, compatible with the car), you can use the car’s console to dial your phone, access your address book, make and receive calls, etc. You won’t need a Bluetooth headset in order to use the car’s features, but you do need a compatible phone.

I’m not sure what type of car you bought, but here is an example from Audi:

Your Audi vehicle may be equipped with a phone preparation utilizing a Bluetooth interface to enable hands-free functionality (compatible mobile phones sold separately). You will need a Bluetooth – enabled mobile phone in order to utilize this function. Not all Bluetooth – enabled mobile phone models are compatible with Audi’s phone preparation. Contact your local Audi dealer for the latest listing of compatible phones. Audi recommends the use of the Audi phone cradle (sold separately) with your mobile phone while operating this vehicle.

Here is some information on other cars that have the same type of system:

Plug a sleek new system-compatible phone into your car for instant integration with the Hands-Free Communication System or use the available Bluetooth interface to enjoy the benefits of hands-free calling while keeping your phone in your pocket, your purse, or wherever it’s convenient.

With the system engaged, you can keep both hands on the wheel while communicating, for easier, safer, more convenient driving.

With your phone docked in the Multi-Handset Interface cradle: The system will access and display your phonebook. Your phone’s battery charges automatically. Calls are clearly delivered through your audio system. The audio system automatically mutes the radio or pause’s the CD during calls. You can control calls via your multifunction steering wheel or with the optional voice control system. To make hands free communication even easier, initialize your approved phone with the Bluetooth interface; the system will automatically recognize your phone every time you enter the vehicle.

Over the next few years that volume of deployment will provide the critical mass that product designers need to justify incorporating wireless connectivity into a new generation of products. Low cost, Wibree only chips will find their way into a whole new range of accessories, such as watches and lifestyle devices. Dual-mode Wibree + Bluetooth chips will give added functionality to the phones themselves, which will become usable for location specific data searching and remote control. Most importantly, Wibree opens up a raft of new opportunities for mobile network operators. As each Wibree equipped handset is a mobile gateway for Wibree devices, operators will be able to offer new services, such as health monitoring. Such services provide a route to new revenue streams, as well as being a powerful tool for operators to increase customer loyalty and reduce churn.

Wibree’s advantage is that it is going to build upon the volumes of mobile phones. Unlike other low power standards it’s not starting from scratch, but will ride on an industry that already sells a billion devices every year. Wibree has the goal of enabling a multitude of products to connect to each and every one of these handsets. That adds up to a potential that is an order of magnitude greater than mobile phone sales. Wibree’s goal is not to ship mere millions, but tens of billions.

Wibree applications – small scale, big opportunity

Wibree is all about small data transfers. These are the applications that send small amounts of information occasionally. That might be a TV remote control, a glucose monitor, flight information at an airport or a room thermostat. All in all, each application may only transfer a few tens or hundreds of bytes of data each day. It’s what I’ve termed microdata. It’s not a new concept, but prior to Wibree nothing has had the architecture to make it simple or the critical mass to make it happen. Instead most wireless technologies have been bogged down in complexity by trying to be good at the difficult things, such as meshes or video streaming or concurrent audio and data. Wibree is all about doing the little things simply.

Understanding the playing field

There are advantages in arriving late, at least as far as a wireless technology is concerned. It means that it can see what its prospective environment looks like and thus be designed to cope with the increasingly noisy and congested spectrum at 2.4GHz. The Wibree specification makes sure that it can cope with interference with a simple frequency agile approach that doesn’t demand the precision clocks of Bluetooth. It uses advertising channels to ensure it’s not inadvertently jammed by Wi-Fi or other transmitters in the band – a low cost but efficient solution. To attain extended battery life, it implements a data transfer scheme that lets it rapidly wake up from deep sleep when it has something to say and then fall back asleep again. It’s a well thought through, pragmatic specification based on experience and thought. It covers its target market requirements at its inception, meaning it is unlikely that the specification will need to updated after a year, which helps provide robustness as well as keeping the cost of the technology low.

At the interoperability level, the standard defines a number of basic profiles that concentrate on efficiently sending attributes or values between devices. These allow a Wibree device to send status information, such as ON or OFF, and values such as room temperature. They also allow simple transmission of information that needs to be displayed, such as text strings. Most of the time these transfers will be infrequent; sometimes they may be the starting point for another wireless technology to take over – such as setting up higher speed Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. It’s all part of Wibree’s job of providing the glue to hold our wireless day together.

The long and short of it

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that low power and long battery life mean that Wibree will be limited to short range applications. Wibree can transmit at powers up to 100mW. In mobile phones, where it shares the same transmitter and receiver with the Bluetooth chip it reside in, Wibree will typically transmit at around 2mW with a receive sensitivity of better than -86dBm. If the RF circuitry is well designed, that will give it an open field range in excess of 100 metres with very low battery consumption. Sensor applications that add a power amplifier ought to be able to exceed 1 km of open field range. While many Wibree applications will extend no further than the range of personal transactions within a room, there will be numerous applications that need to cover the house or office. The ability to deliver that range will help Wibree enable a very wide range of applications.

What’s microdata all about?

The best way to understand its versatility is to look at some applications that Wibree can enable. The first of these to come to market will almost certainly be phone-centric, not least because Wibree is being championed by Nokia and other phone vendors. These headline applications include sending caller information to your watch display and collecting data from health and lifestyle sensors. They’ll start to deliver the first stage of that promise of tens of billions of devices.

An important part of the design of the Wibree standard has been in making it inexpensive to manufacture and integrate – potentially half the cost of Bluetooth for a stand-alone Wibree chip. That low cost opens up a whole raft of opportunities. It only needs a little thought to see how wide the potential from wireless microdata can be.

Microdata means Location

How many times have you gone somewhere and wanted some basic piece of information? It might be the time and gate for your flight, where the goat’s cheese is in the supermarket, or where to find your mummy at the British Museum. Some of these can be answered by search engines and a mobile data subscription. Wibree enables the concept of free local searches.

The way it works is to install Wibree “servers” at each relevant location, with a simple information database in each. That database is typically going to be small and local as it only concerns itself with information about its search location. At the train station it will be the times and platforms of trains for that station and their destinations. In the supermarket it will be the aisle in which goods are located. At the museum it will be details of where the exhibits are on display.

Each Wibree location server will broadcast its presence, and any Wibree device with a suitable search application can choose to show all of the servers within range. It’s never likely to be a big list, but it will be information relevant to where you are. Select the one you want, enter your query and back comes the result:

The process doesn’t touch the mobile network, so there’s no charge. The phone only needs to accept minimal data and display downloaded text, so it’s fast. The database in the server is small and simple to structure as it only has limited, local information. Adding GPS for location based services to a handset adds $10 to the manufacturing cost. The incremental cost of adding Wibree will be around $0.10 – one hundredth of the cost of adding GPS. So the opportunity for location based searches and services is vastly more likely using Wibree, as its negligible additional cost means it will penetrate a far wider range of handsets.

The design of the Wibree protocol stack means there’s no need for TCP/IP stacks, web browsers or anything else in the display device. It’s trivial for something as powerful as a mobile phone to run, but it also means that it’s easy to implement at very low cost. So it could be put onto your shopping trolley with nothing more complex than an 8-bit microprocessor and a display – all of which can be part of a single Wibree chip. It’s a good example of how Wibree makes interoperability and wireless functionality cheap.

Microdata means Health – The Ubiquitous Gateway

Caring for an ageing population with an increasing incidence of long-term, chronic health issues is a problem facing most countries. There is a clear perception that electronic monitoring of health is a key part of any solution. That’s been recognised within the industry with the formation of specialist groups such as the Bluetooth Medical Devices Group, the Continua Alliance and the IEEE 11073 standards group.

Wibree is widely seen as a key enabler for these services. Where it scores over any other low power radio is in its unique ability to use the mobile phone as a gateway that can pass data from a personal medical device to a service provider.

Some of the first Wibree devices being talked about are sports accessories, such as simple pedometers built into sports footwear. The technology will quickly migrate to personal health monitors, including weighing scales, blood pressure monitors and glucosimeters. These aren’t devices that need to send large amounts of data, but their usage model requires low power so that they can be small, battery powered and wearable.

The prospect of offering health related services is an exciting prospect for network operators. It’s one of the reasons that the GSM Association is welcoming Wibree as an evolution of the existing Bluetooth standard. It’s not yet clear where the services will reside – with mobile networks, insurers, national healthcare services, gyms or private medical companies. What is clear is that Wibree provides a wireless implementation with the accessibility that will enable a large-scale deployment of eHealth devices.

Microdata means Control

The concept of Home Automation has been around for over sixty years, yet still has not taken off. There are many reasons for that, including proprietary systems that won’t work with each other, cost and the fact that most of them are too complicated to set up.

With Wibree, things have the chance to change – particularly the problem of configuration. Every enabled mobile phone can be used to set up Wibree devices around the house. Like the example of local searching above, they don’t need special applications – they just display data sent from the host device and map button presses. It gives a simplicity of operation that means that Wibree can be used as a truly universal remote control. Any optional, additional complexity is handled in the device that is being controlled

As Wibree appears in these devices, the scope for remote control of other devices will appear. Gateway devices will also open up the possibility of remote access. Whether a large number of people will ever want to control their heating or white goods remotely is open to debate, but Wibree will be sneaking into the infrastructure of household goods for other reasons. Increasing concerns about energy and resource usage will require smarter washing machines and dishwashers that can talk to each other about how and when they’re working. The driver is likely to be flexible tariffs and government legislation, rather than consumer demand for the automated home. The day is coming when your utility company will decide when you can do your washing.

Ubiquitous microdata

There are places Wibree won’t go. It won’t go into light bulbs, but it’s debatable if wireless ever will. It will go into things that can talk to or be monitored via mobile networks, so will almost certainly become the choice for most consumer medical monitoring and lifestyle devices. By the same token and because of the simplicity of making basic control and display devices it will probably dominate the home automation market. Where interoperability or promiscuity aren’t required then applications will stick with proprietary wireless chips, but even these will change if the production volumes of Wibree drive it to be cheaper. It won’t go into mesh networks, but by taking the consumer applications away mesh will probably remain a niche market. Wibree certainly won’t kill other standards like ZigBee, but it will kill many of their wider ambitions.

Because of the volume it will achieve on the back of mobile phones, Wibree will become endemic. That means it is very well placed to be the wireless technology of choice to support any legislative initiative. Up until now, remote monitoring of devices has largely been ruled by the simple economics of justifying automation. The growing concerns about global warming and the need for better policing of domestic energy usage are already changing that equation. Governments with environmental targets to meet are mandating technology to provide more precise measurements of energy. Wireless Automated Meter Reading (AMR) is moving from trials to deployment after years of feasibility testing. It won’t be alone. Smart homes, smart transport, smart technology is becoming the mantra of the day, with wireless connectivity to ensure the timely arrival of data.

Hundreds of millions of deployed Wibree devices and gateways in the form of mobile phones is hard to argue against as the obvious enabler for these initiatives. The virtuous circle of specification and volume will ensure that Wibree becomes the pre-eminent wireless standard. As most of those devices will depend on the Wibree link for their operation it’s also likely to become the most used wireless standard. And that usage will drive its cost down until it becomes inconceivable not to add it to a new product.

The dial-up Bluetooth ALP will address the mass consumer market that does not want to spend $45 to $55 per month on a continual basis for broadband but is willing to spend a reasonable, onetime outlay for the benefits of untethered surfing and printing from their couch without installing a WLAN home network. If advertised and marketed aggressively enough, this could help to increase consumers’ knowledge of the benefits of products that offer Bluetooth cordless functionality then translate that knowledge into revenue. If not advertised and promoted effectively, these products could be slow to take off.

A greater level of consumer awareness of what Bluetooth is and what benefits it offers is the key to unlocking the box of consumer demand. Though knowledge is increasing, the low level of familiarity of Bluetooth by the average consumer is ensuring that mobile phone operators are still not feeling the consumer demand for Bluetooth-enabled handsets. Nokia and Motorola are very common phones in the United States, but Ericsson is not. Sony Ericsson has been the most aggressive Bluetooth-enabled handset manufacturer to date, but there has not been a significant push or driver thus far in the United States.

Since operators subsidize so many phones, it is necessary for them to see some benefit to offering Bluetooth-enabled phones to their subscribers. So they need to reap a return in terms of customer loyalty (for lower churn), obtaining new subscribers, or revenue. Driver safety alone could be a significant trump card in offering subscribers additional benefits. If operators begin to bundle mobile phones and Bluetooth headsets in an aggressive manner, in conjunction with a marketing campaign targeting hands-free use in vehicles for safety, demand could increase quickly.

On the acquisition front, comments were recently flying around regarding the acquisition of Ericsson Microelectronics by Infineon Technologies. The deal is expected to close in about two months. Infineon gains the module business via Ericsson, inroads to supplying semiconductors into wireless infrastructure and a supplementary customer list. Previously, STMicroelectronics began its acquisition of the wireline and wireless groups of Alcatel Microelectronics, while American Microsystems Inc. began its acquisition of Alcatel Micro’s mixed signal group. The acquisitions of Ericsson Microelectronics and Alcatel Microelectronics do not directly affect current market shares of Bluetooth chipsets.

Recent announcements by Texas Instruments for a $4 (BOM) Bluetooth solution via a ROM-based single chip and by Infineon Technologies for sub-$3.75 pricing (both high volumes) have set a new bar. Both use leading 0.13-micron RE CMOS processes, and volume production is planned for Q12003. Philips Semiconductors announced an affiance with Ericsson Technology Licensing for audio/video solutions. For space-constrained applications, Motorola will go into production in Q4 with a stacked chipset die solution in a 7mm-by-7mm-by-1.6mm BGA package. The price will be the same for the company’s separate radio and baseband.

Coexistence solutions were demonstrated by Silicon Wave (Blue802) and Zeevo (alternate wireless media access, or AWMA). Neither is based on the not-yet-finalized adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) scheme. These mechanisms are geared especially toward the PC market since the front-end can get overloaded in co-located situations (such as a laptop), which can still present a problem with AFH. The first coexistence solutions to hit the shelves are expected in the next six to nine months.

In-Stat/MDR estimates Bluetooth chipset shipments will climb from 10.4 million units in 2001 to 48 million this year, growing to 150 million in 2003.
