Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard used to exchange data between fixed and mobile devices and to build personal area networks, developed by Ericsson engineers and formally announced by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group in 1998. It operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM radio band and was designed as a low-power cable replacement, letting phones, headsets, keyboards and countless other accessories pair and communicate without wires. Bluetooth is named for the tenth-century Scandinavian king Harald Bluetooth, chosen to evoke the standard's goal of unifying communication protocols the way the king united Danish tribes.
