According to one embodiment, a communication system including first and second electronic devices that communicate with one another over a plurality of wireless channels. The first electronic device is configured to establish a connection with a second electronic device using a first wireless channel that operates according to a first wireless communication protocol. During communication via the first wireless channel, the first electronic device identifies an operational context of the first electronic device in which the operational context includes a proximity of the first electronic device relative to the second wireless device, and based on the identified operational context, establishes the connection with the second electronic device using a second channel that operates according to a second wireless communication protocol. The first wireless communication protocol is different than the second wireless communication protocol.
