An Astonishing Achievement

 
An Astonishing Achievement
Thanks to the combination of intelligent organization, frequent communications, and lots of
long hours from all involved, the first release of the Bluetooth Specification was completed in
about 18 months—an astonishing achievement, given the scope of the project and the number
of companies involved.
Thus it was on July 26th, 1999, that the Bluetooth SIG announced the release of version 1.0 of
the Bluetooth Specification. At almost 1500 pages in length, the Specification detailed all the
profiles and processes necessary to utilize Bluetooth wireless technology in real-world
applications.
Bluetooth was now ready for prime time.
