# Overview
|
|
|
|
Nearby Connections is a high level protocol on top of Bluetooth/WiFi that acts
|
|
as a medium-agnostic socket. Devices are able to advertise, scan, and connect
|
|
with one another over any shared medium (eg. BT <-> BT).
|
|
Once connected, the two devices share a list of all supported mediums and
|
|
attempt to upgrade to the one with the highest bandwidth (eg. BT -> WiFi).
|
|
The connection is encrypted, reliable, and fully duplex. BYTE, FILE, and STREAM
|
|
payloads are all supported and will be chunked & transferred internally and
|
|
recombined on the receiving device.
|
|
See [Nearby Connections Overview](https://developers.google.com/nearby/connections/overview)
|
|
for more information.
