Like mobile devices, Bluetooth is also a wireless technology for communication on a short range basis. It connects two devices together and the tech is used for sending and receiving files like media and documents of small size over a short distance, many times just within a house. As of now, Bluetooth is in gen-four. Over the previous generations Bluetooth has seen a lot of improvement in its stability, performance ability as well as energy use.
Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has officially declared the specs of the next generation of Bluetooth. News was doing the rounds earlier this month regarding this. However, it’s only now that it’s official. And in Bluetooth 5, we will see better speed and improved range.
What you get apart from this is certainly jaw dropping. The new Bluetooth version will haverange four times better and the speed of data transfer will be doubled and the capacity of its functioning has been increased by a whopping eight times. This allows connecting more devices now and of course be able to transfer larger amounts of data at the same time. However, the new iteration will come with something new. And the new tech will be called as“advertising packets.”
These “packets” are a way of devices with Bluetooth feature to transmit data between two devices no matter if there’s pairing connection between them. And this new feature will make considerable impact on IoT (Internet-of-Things). To give you an illustration, it will like how having a key effect on how the technology encourages more work more easily. Mark Powell, who is an Executive Director of Bluetooth Special Interest Group, had this to say regarding the fifth generation of Bluetooth:
“Bluetooth 5 will transform the way people experience the IoT by making it something that happens simply and seamlessly around them.”
The upside of the new generation is the tech can function over longer distances and evenwithout having to pair devices. And this is going to be most awarded experience in the IoT.
