Page created by Ian Thakur.

Bluetooth is the global communication standard that connects two devices, usually a phone and audio device, using short length radio waves rather than cords. Bluetooth was invented in 1994 by Ericsson. Ericsson is a Swedish Company founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1876. The first cell phone to implement bluetooth technology was the Ericsson R520M, which launched in 2002. Bluetooth is currently managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), a coalition of 25,000+ companies, established in 1998. This coalition standardizes bluetooth settings so that bluetooth devices are compatible with a multitude of phones, computers, cars, and gaming consoles.
