For the first time, Bluetooth was released in 1998 and introduced as a new transmission standard. However, Bluetooth did not enjoy great popularity until the introduction of the Low Energy series, as this allowed Bluetooth chips to be used in various smaller devices, such as smartwatches or other wearables. Since then, many improvements and enhancements have been added. But most importantly, the origin and exact meaning of the word "Bluetooth" is usually unknown.
