Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows short-range transmission of data between devices like mobile phones, laptops, and wireless speakers. It uses radio waves in the unlicensed ISM band from 2.4-2.4835 GHz and employs frequency hopping to reduce interference. Bluetooth devices can connect to each other dynamically in a personal area network of up to 7 devices within 10 meters. Security features protect data transmission between trusted and untrusted devices.
