Surprisingly, the name dates back more than a millennia to King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson who was well known for two things:
-Uniting Denmark and Norway in 958.
-His dead tooth, which was a dark blue/grey color, and earned him the nickname Bluetooth.
Unlike Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connections do not use up your cellular data package because they aren’t transmitting data over the airwaves in the same way. Bluetooth is exclusively device-to-device transmission with no intermediaries.
Bluetooth typically operates over short distances to conserve power. Although Bluetooth can work within a 200-meter range, that is very uncommon, with most devices typically running within 10 meters of one another.
Bluetooth 5 offered users more speed and range, as well as enhanced security. Devices can optimize connections for greater speed or range by assigning priority to either, by up to four times if needed.
