By Alexandra Brown


Bluetooth is widely used nowadays, it can either be found in mobile phones and computers. Let us get to know what Bluetooth really is for us to be able to understand it better. Bluetooth has the ability to interact with other Bluetooth-enabled systems or devices and it is a wireless system protocol. Simpler said, Bluetooth is just like many other communication protocols like IMAP, SMTP, HTTP and FTP. This kind of technology enables the people to keep up with the fast paced lane to the future where everything is becoming instant and the traditional slow moving world is being left behind. Before, communication is very slow and primitive therefore messages take time before it arrives to the person concern. But with the advent of technology, there is already lots of method now that can be used for faster communication process.

Transferring of files has been technologically advanced with the discovery of Bluetooth in 1994 which was used first to solve the problems of synchronizing many other devices by the telecoms vendor ericsson. As of now, the Bluetooth technology is being used widely in mobile phones and other devices including computers because of its ability to transfer files from one communication data to another device using only a low 2.45 GHz frequency.

Unlike other devices that have the possibility to disrupt and interfere with data communication, use of Bluetooth in data exchange is considered harmless. Aside from that, another advantage of using Bluetooth is that it cannot interfere with other electronic devices because of the weak signals that it uses consuming only 1mw.

There may be some people that do not know how to add Bluetooth enabled devices to their computer. This is the reason why we will discuss what things that you need in order to know if your device and computer are ready to be connected:

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. Setting up the Bluetooth-enabled device for it to be found by your computer is the next thing that you have to do. Make sure that your device is in discoverable mode and turned on. Once it is switched to discoverable mode, wireless signals are sent by your device towards other Bluetooth-enabled devices and this allows your device to be detected by other mobile phones, computers and other devices. This puts your device into pairing mode wherein you will be able to pair your computer to the Bluetooth-enabled device.

Compared to using wires and cable connectors, use of Bluetooth is automatic, wireless and can reach up to 32 feet. That is why a lot of people opt to use Bluetooth enabled gadgets which helps them to eliminate use of wires and cable connectors that most of the time is accidentally tied.
