Bluetooth wireless networking is a technology that is sweeping the globe and being integrated into a wide variety of electronic devices these days. The underlying Bluetooth technology was developed in the mid 1990s and began to be seen in more and more pieces of equipment toward the end of the decade.
The developers of Bluetooth, Ericsson (which has since become Sony Ericsson), endeavored to create a single standard for wireless technology networking that could be easily and inexpensively integrated into various electronic devices for ease of connectivity. Having a single standard shared by all electronic developers, designers and manufacturers was the ideal because it would allow the end user to enjoy wireless networking of their devices, regardless of who manufactured the electronic item.
Ericsson made a strategically brilliant decision in the early days of Bluetooth wireless networking technology. They decided to make the Bluetooth specifications available free of charge to companies that were interested in developing and implanting the technology into their products.

As the computer repair center for Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, Concise maintains a client list that resembles the “who’s who” in the Michigan small business community.  They are good, and they are growing out of their digs in Bloomfield Hills.

One of the reasons that Concise is so well respected in their industry is because they take the time to explain and teach at the same time.  Let’s face it, the information highway has its own language today.  Computer techies have always had a vernacular that tended to exclude the rest of the non-techie world.  Making things worse for us non-techies today, is the next layer of computer- speak: abbreviations of all the words that we had no clue about from the beginning.

The staff at Concise will now lead the pc tech support field by offering a series of articles with those definitions of words from the computer tech support world.  This is the first offering in what Concise hopes will be a long series of definitions from the computer tech speaker.
