Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances. It is using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz. It was developed by Ericsson in 1994. Today it is used mostly to connect peripherals and smartphones to your computer.
