Bluetooth is poised for a significant change: version 5 of the famous low-energy communication protocol present in all our smartphones arrives in 2016. And significant performance gains since the consortium responsible for its development, Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) claims to have quadrupled the speed and twice the range.
gains advertised are those of low power mode called LE for low Energy. Not enough to compete with Wi-Fi for Internet browsing or for the most demanding applications bandwidth: at present, BT THE carbide to 1 Mbit / s and offers a range of a hundred meters. But the 4-Mbit and scope thrust 200m BT 5 allow the proliferation of applications, including outdoors.
No more greedy
Bluetooth is highly prized for its low consumption energy -. where the smallest gross performance over Wi-Fi the challenge for the development of consortium was not significantly impact this consumption. The good news is that, in the words of the representative of the GIS, the gains of the Bluetooth Version 5 agree with equal energy consumption. Godsend for manufacturers of smartphones and connected devices.
tags close and indoor use
In addition to headsets and other wireless speakers, Bluetooth driver many objects . To improve existing connectivity, the greatest power of version 5 would expand the uses for outdoor use, such as connectivity to terminals.
For example, imagine an airport or train station where terminals transmit location information to users without that they have to connect to a network without paying over. And without draining the users battery.
All aspects of Bluetooth 5 will be unveiled at a press conference on June 16, it will then remain as more manufacturers to inventing new uses.
