Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that allows data exchange between devices like phones, laptops, and printers. It was developed in 1994 and uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band to connect devices within a 10-100 meter range. Bluetooth devices can form ad-hoc networks called piconets to share data and voice signals. While convenient, Bluetooth has limitations like low data rates, short range, and potential security issues if not configured properly. It finds applications in wireless headsets, car infotainment systems, and wireless speakers. Future developments aim to improve bandwidth, reduce interference, and streamline connection setup while maintaining compatibility.
