What wireless technology standard is used for exchanging data over short distances between devices using UHF radio waves?

Show answer

Bluetooth

Bluetooth was named after the 10th-century Viking King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, who was famous for uniting disparate Scandinavian tribes. Just as the king brought people together, the technology was designed to allow different devices to communicate using a single standard. The iconic logo is actually a combination of two Nordic runes representing the king's initials, H and B.
