WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and Bluetooth are two prominent wireless communication technologies used for various applications. WLAN, standardized by IEEE 802.11, enables high-speed data transmission over short distances, typically within a few hundred meters. It is commonly used in homes, offices, and public spaces for internet access and local networking. WLAN operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, with the latter offering higher data rates and less interference.

Bluetooth, standardized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, is designed for short-range communication between devices. It operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and is commonly used for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and headsets to computers and smartphones. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), introduced in Bluetooth 4.0, is optimized for low power consumption, making it suitable for IoT (Internet of Things) devices and wearable technology.

Both WLAN and Bluetooth have their strengths and weaknesses. WLAN offers higher data rates and is suitable for applications requiring high-speed data transmission, such as streaming and online gaming. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is ideal for low-power, low-data-rate applications, such as connecting peripherals and IoT devices. The choice between WLAN and Bluetooth depends on the specific requirements of the application and the devices being used.
