Bluetooth
TM
is an internationally standardised
remote control data interface.
It permits control or monitoring of even
minute units using radio waves.
The primary aim when developing this new
type of interface was to create a wireless
alternative to cable links, which used to be
susceptible to interference and inconvenient
and frequently featured incompatible
connectors.
More and more manufacturers are making use
of "Bluetooth
TM
" radio wave technology for
example for wireless interconnection of
notebook and mobile phone accessories.
As initiator and main contributor to the
development of this new transmission
technology, the Swedish company Ericsson
chose the name "Bluetooth".
The name originates from the Viking king
Harald Blåtand II (Danish, literally meaning
"Blue Tooth"), who lived around 1000 years ago
in Denmark and Norway.
