Bluetooth is a very secure and elegant, royalty-free, ultra-short range wireless network technology ~~developed~~ originally developed by [[Ericsson]] and later [[The Bluetooth Consortium]] founded by Ericsson and other big companies and now by the [[Bluetooth SIG]].

Bluetooth is a very secure and elegant, royalty-free, ultra-short range wireless network technology originally developed by [[Ericsson]] and later [[The Bluetooth Consortium]] founded by Ericsson and other big companies and now by the [[Bluetooth SIG]].

The current version 1.1 operates in the same internationally ~~unlisenced~~ 2,4Ghz frequency band as [[WiFi]] or [[802.11b]], which has prompted a lot of uncertainty to the future of Bluetooth due to the much higher power output of WiFi appliances. Bluetooth uses frequency hopping at 1600 hops/second spread over 79 frequency slots, which makes it highly resistant to interference and Apple ~~Comuters~~ has introduced ~~some~~ high-end PowerBook portables with '''integrated Bluetooth and [[802.11g]]''' to clearly state the case that these technologies can coexist on the same band (802.11g uses the same 2,4GHz band as 802.11b ~~and Bluetooth~~ and is very much backward compatible with 802.11b).
