Knowing More About Bluetooth For Computers

By Alexandra Brown


Bluetooth is becoming more and more popular at his time. Not only can it be found in mobile phones, but it also is very useful in other gadgets such computers. For us to be able to understand more about this discussion, let us first talk about what Bluetooth really is. Bluetooth is a kind of technology that has the ability to interact and exchange data with other Bluetooth-enabled device and it is a wireless system protocol just like many other communication protocols such as FTP, HTTP, SMTP and IMAP. Unlike the slow moving world that we had before, this kind of technology helps people to keep up with a fast paced world. It is known to most people that the method of communication before is primitive and slow. With the help of technological advancements, newer methods and ways are now available to be utilized for man to have faster communication process.

Telecoms vendor ericsson was first to use Bluetooth to solve the problems of synchronizing many devices. Because of the discovery of Bluetooth in 1994, transferring of file has become easier and hassle-free. Bluetooth technology uses only a low 2.45 GHz frequency but has the ability to transfer files from one communication data to another. That is one of the many reasons why it is widely used in mobile phones and other devices like computers.

Because it can only consume 1mw, Bluetooth uses only weak signals and it will not interrupt other electronic devices which another advantage of using Bluetooth. Use of Bluetooth is considered harmless compared to using other devices that has the tendency to interrupt and distract data communication.

People may ask how to be able to add Bluetooth enabled devices to their computer, which is why we have provided with answers to that question. Below are two things that are required to be done for you to be able to check if your computer and device are compatible and ready to connect:

1. First thing to do is to check whether your computer has built in Bluetooth adapter. If you found out that it has no built in Bluetooth adapter, add it yourself by plugging it to a USB port. Nowadays, a lot of computers, including laptops come with built-in Bluetooth adapter. You can either turn on the Bluetooth switch on your laptop or turn on the adapter for you to be able to use the Bluetooth function of your computer. If you are not sure regarding the availability of built-in Bluetooth adapter in your computer, checking the manual will be helpful. The manual may also provide you with information on how to turn your Bluetooth adapter on.

2. For your computer to be able o find the device, you need to set up the Bluetooth-enabled device. For this step, you need to turn on the device and check that it is in discoverable mode. Once you are sure that the device is in discoverable mode, a wireless signal is sent by your own device to other Bluetooth-enabled devices for it to be detected by other mobile phones, computers and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. When this is done, you will be able to pair your computer to your Bluetooth-enabled device which is also known as the pairing mode.

Other advantages of Bluetooth technology over using wires and cable connectors is its ability to reach about 32 feet and being wireless and automatic. Because of this, people are now able to disregard using cable wires and connectors which usually end up being accidentally tied which may be a hassle for some if not most.
