Bluetooth technology was developed by Ericsson in the early 1990s.
The company envisioned a wireless communication technology that could connect various devices seamlessly, eliminating the need for cables.
The name "Bluetooth" was inspired by King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark, who united warring tribes in the 10th century.
Ericsson worked with several other companies, including IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba, to form the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1998.
This group standardized Bluetooth technology, ensuring its compatibility and widespread adoption.
Today, Bluetooth is used in a vast array of devices, from smartphones and headphones to smart home appliances and automotive systems.
