Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology developed for exchanging data over short distances, primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of devices and peripherals. It uses radio waves to transmit data up to around 30 feet and creates small networks (piconets) of up to 8 devices connected to a central device. While Bluetooth uses the same 2.4GHz frequency range as WiFi, it has slower speeds, shorter range, and supports fewer connected devices, making it better suited for uses like connecting phones and wireless controllers rather than replacing WiFi. Future devices are expected to increasingly incorporate Bluetooth connectivity.
