Why Is It Called BLUETOOTH? Harald Bluetooth was king of Denmark in the late 900s. He managed to unite Denmark and part of Norway into a single kingdom then introduced Christianity into Denmark. He left a large monument, the Jelling rune stone, in memory of his parents. He was killed in 986 during a battle with his son, Svend Forkbeard. Choosing this name for the standard indicates how important companies from the Nordic region (nations including Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland) are to the communications industry. In the beginning of the Bluetooth wireless technology era, Bluetooth was aimed at unifying the telecom and computing industries. It turns out that this particular King Harold was famous for getting warring factions to sit down at the negotiating table and talk to each other. Thus, making opposing teams talk to each other is what a Bluetooth does – both the 10th century king and the modern technology! |
