Bluetooth technology was developed in the 1980s, and since then has evolved into basic digital radio designs implemented in mobile phones.
With Bluetooth wireless technology, end-users can easily and quickly connect to a long list of computing and telecommunications devices without the use of cables.
Philips Semiconductors was the first to introduce Bluetooth solutions to the wireless market in 1999. It was also able to launch a complete system solution in early 2000.
Royal Philips Electronics, one of the biggest electronics companies in the world, through its arm, Philips Consumer Communications, is active in the area of mobile communications, producing top-of-the-line phones that offer long battery life, durability and seamless connectivity such as the WAP-enabled Xenium 9@9.
