Wireless LAN protocols, such as Bluetooth and the IEEE 802.11 specifications used for Wi-Fi, also use microwaves in the 2.4 GHz ISM band , although 802.11a uses ISM band and U-NII frequencies in the 5 GHz range.
Read moreDoes Bluetooth use radio waves or microwaves?
Devices connected in a Bluetooth network communicate with each other using ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio waves . These are electromagnetic waves with frequencies around 2.4 gigahertz (2.4 billion waves per second). UHF waves of different frequencies are used in microwave ovens, GPS systems and many other devices.
