Wi-Fi is a means of wireless communication developed to deliver internet.

Range

A screenshot from the 2014 video game Watch Dogs. The game depicts a future in witch a city is completely monitored 24/7, including the living quarters of all citizens. Research by MIT professor Dina Katabi in 2020 is in such an advanced stage, that a signal emitting device can monitor the breathing of a person. Papers have been published which show, that from regular Wi-Fi signals alone, the movement of a person can be calculated.

The typical range of Wifi is sufficient for use as the 'last hop' of internet delivery. Publicly available

Legality

Some governments, such as that of Germany have passed restrictive laws, attempting to prevent the use of wifi to proved anonymous internet access.

Bomb triggering

A May 2019 article in The Register stated that several instances of wifi-triggered bombs occured in the Middle East and one in Indonesia, which used a wifi signal broadcast a kilmoeter.

Wi-Fi room imaging

WiFi is electromagnetic waves in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges. It’s the same thing as the light you see, only it can penetrate walls due to its much longer wavelength. Just like light (and echolocation) these waves also reflect off various surfaces and, when reconstructed properly, can be used to create an image. by the 2020s, technological advances made it possible to track one's precise physical location, movement, and other physiological properties, where some systems can "detect the pose of humans in a room based solely on the WiFi signals passing through the environment."

In 2019, former DARPA contractor Ray Liu created a company with technology is so accurate that it can sense people's breathing using nothing but standard WiFi signals.

Bluetooth

Google activating Bluetooth low energy tracking - Rob Braxman Tech (April 17, 2024) Skynet 2024: The Infrastructure is Complete!

Bluetooth is another wireless technology that allows the exchange of data between electronic devices; it generally only works within a short distance, 100 meter at best.

BLE tracking / mesh

Bluetooth, as a communication standard, might have been developed with surveillance / command and control functionality in mind, or was geared towards that direction with the release BLE 4.0 in 2010, which introduced Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Following Apple, Google enabled tracking of their devices via BLE in 2024; it makes communication between enabled devices within an ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) created network possible, without the need for Internet access.

COVID-19/Vaccine

Full article: "COVID-19/Vaccine"

A short while after the Covid mass injections began, people around the globe started to report that they saw devices through wireless connection search from mobiles (via Bluetooth) that were uncommon, or not there before in a given area. The topic was subsequently fact-checked by the commercially-controlled media. Studies executed in private capacity found that people who have been vaccinated,or have been tested, might be emitting wireless signals under some circumstances.
