Many people ask this question: Does Bluetooth use data transmission over a local network or does it work over a wireless connection? Bluetooth is not like wired phones and other wireless devices where you are restricted by wires from a specific location. Unlike wired phones, Bluetooth does not restrict you to one specific network and even though it can be used over one connection, it works best for local area communication. Data transmission over a local network is possible but costly. For this reason, wireless devices have become more popular in many homes.
Did you know that a Bluetooth device can communicate with another Bluetooth device even if the latter device is not within range of the former? Yes, you read that right. If you have an older mobile phone, you may want to replace it with a newer model with Bluetooth capability. However, if you have a laptop that is either an old model or already bought, you may want to consider using the Bluetooth connection feature that comes along with your mobile device.
One of the most commonly asked questions about Bluetooth technology is whether or not it supports using data over Wi-Fi. While Bluetooth can be used over Wi-Fi, data transfer over Wi-Fi is quite slow compared to the real time data transfer rate provided by Air Gesture. Air Gesture provides a real time data transfer rate of 5 gigabits per second; this is way faster than what most wireless devices can achieve. If you are trying to pair up Bluetooth devices to access your wireless network and you also want to use data, try turning off the data use a feature on your cell phone and computer to prevent network interference.
Another question often asked is if Bluetooth devices are capable of transmitting and receiving media. It is technically possible for two Bluetooth devices to exchange media information, however this can only occur when one device is in the process of transmitting media data and the other is in the process of receiving it. In most cases, it is more convenient to pair your device to your computer so that it will allow you to view media without having to worry about data being transmitted or received in the middle of a data transmission.
When you are using wi-fi in a public location, like a coffee shop or library, you may run into situations where data roaming occurs. This basically means that other people in the location can see your application, even though you aren’t actually displaying the app for them to use. For example, if you have an application that loads images for your customers or clients and you want them to see this while they are in your store, you will likely run into a data roaming situation. The solution to this problem is to simply move your Bluetooth devices to another area of the public location that does not require wi-fi for your device. However, some companies have found a way around this issue by using an Air Gesture sensor to detect if there is someone else in the vicinity who wishes to use your device and then prompt you to enable data roaming.
In addition to data roaming issues, some people have problems with using Bluetooth headphones while traveling. If you are listening to your favorite music through one of these devices and you get a call, you can simply put the headphones on and allow the call to go through. This will probably cause the person on the other end of the call to be distracted by your headphones and they won’t realize that you are not using a wired device to carry on the call. The solution to this problem is to ensure that your phones are capable of carrying a signal in this case. There are many phones on the market that have wifi built-in, but if yours does not have this option you should look at purchasing one that will support wifi calls.
Another scenario that might cause you some privacy issues is if someone else in your proximity records your calls. This can usually be prevented if your smartphone has some sort of feature that will detect any movement that it detects in the vicinity of the phone. The most popular feature of smartphones that prevent this particular scenario is called “btelnet”. You can purchase a smartphone that has this option or find a company that makes a Bluetooth headset with this capability.
As we briefly mentioned at the beginning of this article, there are two distinct situations that can occur when using Bluetooth devices or smartphones with wireless data usage. The first scenario is where you only need to use one Bluetooth device and don’t want to utilize any additional ones. The second scenario is when you use two Bluetooth devices and do not want other individuals to be able to use them at the same time. For example, if you work in a busy office and have two Bluetooth devices that you want to use at the same time, you will probably find that it is easier to use a handset that limits the number of individuals who can use them at the same time.
