Buletooth is a telecommunications technology that allows computers, mobile phones, PDAs, and other enabled devices to connect wirelessly over short distances, and exchange digital information. Bluetooth connections take place over a 2.4 GHz frequency, and have a range of approximately 10 meters (33 feet).

Ericsson, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba jointly developed the Bluetooth technology, and it was first made available in 2001.
