Bluetooth Technology. Discuss the uses, advantages, and disadvantages of Bluetooth.

Survey students about their experience with any of these implementations of Bluetooth
technology.

Advantage:

o It avoids interference from other wireless devices.

o It has lower power consumption.
o It is easily upgradeable.
o It has range better than Infrared communication.
o The Bluetooth is used for voice and data transfer.
o Bluetooth devices are available at free.
o No line of sight hence can connect through any obstacles.
o Free to use if the device is installed with Bluetooth.
o The technology is adopted in many products such as head set, in car system,
printer, web cam, GPS system, keyboard and mouse.

Disadvantage:

o It can lose connection in certain conditions.

o It has low bandwidth as compared to Wi-Fi.
o It allows only short-range communication between devices.
o Security is a very key aspect as it can be hacked. This is due to the fact that it
operates on Radiofrequency and hence can penetrate through walls. It is
advisable not to use it for critical business or personal data transfer.
o It has compatibility issues with Bluetooth. Numerous reasons such as
profiles, drivers, and versions account for this. This is especially relatable to
Bluetooth 4.0 with low-energy technology. A Bluetooth 4.0 connection
with low-energy technology will not be compatible with other versions of
bluetooth.
