Next year will be much better Bluetooth – ITavisen.no

“100 percent increase in speed.”

Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced major updates to Bluetooth.

Range and speed
So what can we expect from next year and beyond? First and foremost will reach get an increase of four times compared to the current version. The current version has a number of video at 100 meters, while from next year can expect 400 meters.

In addition, the speed increase, here promises SIG an increase of 100 percent, or twice as fast, without increased power consumption. Which can increase the use of Bluetooth further.

Mesh Networks
same time planning SIG also implementing support for mesh networking. Since all wireless devices have a limited range and generally requires a hub to connect, allows mesh network devices to talk to each other directly if they are within range.

– There are significant demand from our members and the industry to improve Bluetooth with the new properties we are announcing today. The technical updates we plan for Bluetooth technology in 2016, will further increase of IoT devices, said Toby Nixon of SIG.
