Bluetooth And Infared
With new electrical devices being produced every day, the
problem of
connecting things is becoming
more and more complex in nature. The system that
comprises computers and other electronics makes use of
varieties of wires, cables, etc.
These parts will communicate through light beams, lasers,
radio signals, and infrared. The problem however, is the
devices and technology is often the connection between each
component. Therefore, most
electronic systems aren't used to their full extent due to the
problems and imperfections.
To help simplify things, a solution was created
- the solution of Bluetooth. Bluetooth is wireless
and automatic, offering users a variety of features that
have
simplified the art of
connection. Bluetooth has revolutionized the
standard methods of connecting things to enabling almost
anything to be connected to a single system.
Aside from Bluetooth, there are other ways of connecting
wireless devices. One example of such is the IR or
infrared. Infrared allows low frequency light waves to
transmit signals to another component. This technology is easy
to create and the cost of putting the IR device into a system
is rather low.
Infrared technology is a one to one process. Due to
the limitation, you may only send signals from one device to
another, similar to a television set and remote control.
You can only transmit signals between the two although not with
a seperate system.
Aside from the fact that these two natures of infrared are
obstacles to acquiring results, these same qualities have
worked in advantage to the
connection. Infrared devices need to be lined up
directly, meaning too little interference can occur between the
transmitters and receivers.
The technology behind Bluetooth works by transmitting
signals through low frequency radio signals. The path of
communication is working on 2.45 GHz, which is the same
frequency band used in ISM devices.
