In 1994 a mobile manufacturing company Ericcson became interested in connecting its mobile phone to other devices without cables. It together with some companies like Nokia, Toshiba, Intel, IBM etc. make a group called SIG i.e Special Interest Group and named the project as BLUETOOTH. The main aim is to develop a short range, low power, and inexpensive wireless radio communication standard. Project is named after a king who tried to unite the Denmark and Norway. There are some IEEE standards, which resembles with Bluetooth but the main thing about Bluetooth is that its specification is for complete system, from physical layer to the application layer. But for example the specification of IEEE 802.15 standardize only physical and teh data link layer: and the rest of the protocol stack is not under consideration.
The Bluetooth Spcial Interest Group (SIG) is a trade association comprised of leaders in the telecommunications, computing, automotive, industrial automation and network industries that is driving the development of Bluetooth wireless technology. The Special Interest Group was founded in September 1998.
