Bluetooth Technology

Bluetooth technology is a short-range wireless communication standard used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances, creating what is known as a Personal Area Network (PAN). Operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, it utilizes low-power radio waves to enable robust, cable-free connections, making it particularly suitable for battery-operated gadgets. This protocol is fundamental to modern computer networking and is ubiquitously found in applications connecting peripherals like headphones, speakers, and keyboards to host devices such as smartphones and computers, as well as in the expanding ecosystem of the Internet of Things (IoT).
