aka "the easy way out".

You take for granted that the wireless was for inside equipment, I don't. I asked if someone has a source about the design but no one brought anything. That's where we are.

You don't need no attitude here, if you know something then write it and mention the source.

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.
