Bluetooth is everywhere. It’s in your TV, your phone, your computer, your car. If you’ve been around long enough to remember when it first came out you may have reservations about using it in a mission critical situation. Here are 4 reasons you can trust it.
It’s Well Engineered
Bluetooth has been around for more than 20 years. That means that engineers from literally 1000’s of different tech companies have been working with it to fix the bugs in the technology since it first came out. Plus, Bluetooth is basically just radio communication. The only difference is that it’s software based. That means it just keeps getting better and better. We’re now on Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth 5.0 is already in the works. That’s right, this is a fourth generation technology. It’s in everybody’s best interest financially to make their Bluetooth stuff work well and be stable when connected. You’re in good hands.
It Saves Time
You remember the days when the first Bluetooth keyboards came out and what a headache they were with constantly loosing connections? Rest assured, such problems are definitely a thing of the past. Not only is the software that runs Bluetooth connections much more advanced and stable but there are also fantastic new features such as memory of what it was last paired to and the self-healing connection. That means that you can walk out of range, then walk back into range and you’re automatically reconnected! Great stuff. Good for safety and easy to live with in a practical sense. If you unplug a cable 30 feet away from you, you still have to walk back over and physically reconnect it. Bluetooth is better. It’s a time saver.
It’s Compatible
It works with what you already own. True to its name Bluetooth has been a unifying technology. Bluetooth was named after a noble king who united the disunited. Bluetooth is now the main method by which many disparate technologies can all coexist and talk to each other.

It’s Safer
It’s safer than wired technology. First, since there are no physical connections it is one of only a handful of the truly Intrinsically Safe technologies. Secondly, no wires between headset and radio or headset and phone means you have less to get caught on things while operating machinery, chainsaws and other equipment. Less snag hazards and less hassle is more safety and more efficiency.
