How Does Bluetooth Work?

With the rise of the Internet of Things and wearable electronics, Bluetooth has been forever integrated into our lives - but how does it work?
Your extent of knowledge about bluetooth technology could be anywhere from “it’s the magic that makes my smartwatch work” to “it’s a short wave secure 2.45 GHz radio frequency used to establish a piconet between two or more devices.” Chances are, however, you stand somewhere in the middle of those two understandings. Wherever your understanding is, let’s explain Bluetooth from simple to complex in an easy to comprehend way.
At its core, Bluetooth is the prime wireless technology used across virtually all devices. Bluetooth is just an invisible wire that connects different devices together.

    I just watched your video on waste treatment and was really impressed with just how informative yet simplified it was. Great work. With all due respect however, you may want to look into getting a better logo for your channel. I was a graphic designer for years who worked one on one with new startups, especially in tech, as well as Fortune 500 companies on helping to improve their corporate identity and overall branding. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of an eye catching logo that is designed around and communicates a concept that is congruent with your brand, specifically your channels unique selling point. In other words, what about your channel separates you from other educational channels. There are graphic designers online that will literally compete for your business. I will share some examples in a separate comment within this thread because KZread may shadowban it because it contains a web link.

    Here are some examples of some solid logos that are based on actual concepts where the logo itself isn’t just a fancy font or meaningless design but it’s actually an aesthetically pleasing design that conveys a concept and message to the viewer which is very catchy and make them much more likely to not only click on your videos but it will give you more credibility overall: bit.ly/2mt1UOD

  • @ConcerningReality

    probably due to the size of the receivers. Range is a direct correlation to power input, so smaller devices will have shorter range.

    It's just an overload of previous knowledge. The only reason why we have continuously been moving forward in every scientific field, is because of the knowledge we gained from our precedors. All the accomplishments that we have seen kn the medical industry is because of Robert leuwenhook who discovered cells in 1800s, if he didn't do that, we wouldn't even know that we can make whole organs from scratch.

    Connecting my wireless headphones to the laptop screws up my internet connection. Bluetooth and the router are using the same frequency. The strange thing is it wasn't like that a year ago. After I've reinstalled windows this is the only thing that doesn't work properly and I don't know how to fix it. Never encountered a problem such as this before...

    And if your access codes to your smart phone are stolen sold or observed the security of the hopping signal is lost . If a phone is cloned the hopping signal is too . This can lead to a loss of data or worse . Additionally , since it operates in the microwave band it can penetrate walls from within 50 feet not ideal for apartment dwellers

    I believe your Bluetooth adapter may be old, damaged, or faulty. Despite this comment being 7 months old, I advise you get an external Bluetooth dongle for your PC/laptop, and an external Wi-Fi adapter for good measure. You may also be misusing your Bluetooth tech, forgot to turn it on, it is broken, no battery, etc.
