Bluetooth & Wifi

Bluetooth

·         Bluetooth technology allows various different kinds of electronic equipment to communicate with each other wirelessly. This is what allows your cell phone to communicate with your wireless headset, or your smart phone to link to your laptop to download your address book.

WiFi

·         WiFi is a networking technology that allows your computers to communicate with each other, or with the Internet. This communication goes through a wireless router, which then sends a signal out to where it needs to go.

 

The main difference between the two technologies is that Bluetooth devices communicate one-on-one with each other, whereas WiFi devices communicate with any other device through a wireless router.

Bluetooth is generally used for transmitting audio, such as from your cell phone to your wireless earpiece. WiFi is generally used for transmitting Internet signals from your cable or DSL modem to and from your computer.
