Bluetooth remains an 'unusually painful' technology after two decades

Any high power 2.4ghz transmitter will destroy Bluetooth communication, this is all in the same 2.45ghz ISM band. I guess they use some devices communicating on that band.

They certainly do - walkie-talkies!

Edit: Yes, they do exist - you can google this. But on reflection, a commenter below is probably right that it's more likely wireless security cameras, given typical site requirements (range, penetration depth)

I don't think they use the 2.4 GHz band.

Handhelds are usually UHF - in the 446MHz range. Do you know of personal radios that operate in the 2.4GHz unlicensed spectrum?

Drones (FPV), baby monitors to name two. I’m sure there’s more.
