Alternative to Bluetooth

New Bluetooth Alternative Sends Its Signal Using Your Body's Magnetic Field

Kelly Hodgkins | September 2, 2015

Ultra-low power wearable technology is about to get very interesting thanks to a new wireless transmission system that uses your body’s natural magnetic waves to carry a data signal across devices. The technology is being developed by a team of researchers from the University of California at San Diego, who have built a proof-of-concept prototype to demonstrate this form of wireless transmission.
