A lot of this is down to how its communications standard was developed in the 1980s and ‘90s by multiple expert committees and groups. ISM frequency devices do not require an FCC license, which makes them incredibly attractive for manufacturers.ĭespite being around for 20 years, Bluetooth is still rather poorly understood by general tech protocol standards. That last part is mainly due to its use of 2.4 GHz frequency, or the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical devices). The only reason why Bluetooth still exists is that it is relatively easy to implement, easy to use and cheap to manufacture. Connections are notoriously unreliable and prone to sudden breaks, signal speeds are slow and recent research has unearthed several important security flaws. For such a popular and crucial communications standard, Bluetooth is surprisingly full of flaws, both from the perspective of user experience and device security.
