Why hasn’t the world crossed over via Bluetooth once?

The technology differs from Wi-Fi in that it is “pure shortwave” and, according to Prof. Chris Harrison, is still popular with consumers. Bluetooth in the present It is a must-have item that comes with every smartphone. with familiarity And there’s more to be found in portable speakers. Due to its low power consumption and the ability to connect over a limited distance.

signal Bluetooth It travels through radio waves without a license due to its narrow band. but open to everyone to use effectively As opposed to privatized radio waves controlled by companies such as AT&T or Verizon (for Thailand, AIS and True), this could simplify development and broad adoption. in exchange for high costs

Bluetooth Must be shared and competed with many other products using unlicensed spectrum such as baby monitors, TV remotes, etc., which may cause interference that may impede its performance. Bluetooth yours

Prof Chris Harrison reveals another reason why Bluetooth It’s a “headache” because the issue also extends to the potential cybersecurity concerns when transmitting data wirelessly.

“For example If you install Bluetooth speakers in your New York apartment building You won’t want anyone within a 10-15 meter radius to connect. But the manufacturer never settled in the process. A smooth ‘discovery mode’,” said Prof. Chris Harrison.

and added that “Sometimes the device will automatically start up and stay in this mode. ‘Ready to pair’, where sometimes you have to click certain types to get your device into this specific mode.”

moreover US government agency Many have advised consumers that the use of Bluetooth Vulnerable, making devices more vulnerable to cybersecurity. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has warned that, like a Wi-Fi connection, “Bluetooth could put your personal information at risk. If you’re not careful”

At least one high-profile high-ranking official is said to have been skeptical of Bluetooth Vice President Kamala Harris in his highly-watched video congratulating Joe Biden.

But businesses and consumers still use it. Bluetooth Next, Apple may be the most outstanding. It ditched the traditional headphone port and introduced the most popular wireless headphones used. Bluetooth Like AirPods, other tech companies have released similar products since then.

Some diehard audiophiles “who complain that Spotify isn’t high-quality enough,” according to Chris Harrison, refuses to embrace the world of headphones. Bluetooth for sound quality reasons

Despite his shortcomings, Prof. Chris Harrison didn’t see the need. Bluetooth that is about to expire And admits that he’s running it smoothly -partly “70% of the time”.

“Bluetooth has never seen it as a pinnacle,” said Prof. Chris Harrison, predicting the widespread use of IoT (Internet of Things) or smart devices. Close collaboration will only increase growth, “Bluetooth will be the glue that connects everything.”
