    Sure, I’ll bite.

    Bluetooth is not powerful enough to punch through any part of that hull. Not the 5 inches of carbon fiber wrap, and forget about transmitting through the metal end-caps.

    Those older bluetooth controllers are often stopped by an inch of wooden desk in their way.

    For outside equipment, OceanGate would be forced to use a control method that is received by a machine inside the hull, then converted to point-to-point wireless to punch through the carbon fiber, with wires on either side. Or something similar to that.

    So the Bluetooth has to be communicating to a machine inside the vessel.
