Bluetooth technology

Communication and Limitations
Communication speed is not that great with Bluetooth technology. Wi-Fi and Infrared communication can happen at much higher speeds compared to that of Bluetooth.
Though Bluetooth communication is considered secure, if a user happens to leave his/her device in the 'discoverable' mode, a hacker can eavesdrop or establish a connection with the 'discovered' device without the user knowing about it.
If Bluetooth is in the ON mode, it does drain the battery. So one needs to be careful about switching Bluetooth ON only for the time span of communication and turn it OFF after the communication ends. This practice also reduces the security risk involved with Bluetooth technology.
