Why is Bluetooth still so inconsistent in regards to connectivity and pairing previously paired devices?

787 views

You would think that a wireless technology that is offered on mobile devices, TV’s, motor vehicles, sound systems, and now home appliances like fridges and hood fans would be more advanced after over 20 years since being first implemented. Or is it that the radio frequency spectrum limits Bluetooth from being any better than it is?

Bluetooth is in the ISM band(industry science and medical) . It’s an unlicensed band that the FCC has for consumers and businesses. Same as wifi same as your microwave oven, baby monitors, your little drones. It’s very congested.

Like land, you can’t make more space in that area. So you have to accept the interference, because the ISM band is like the Wild West of radios, the bigger radio wins. This might mean someone using a microwave oven will knock everything off the network right next to it.
