Bluetooth SIG Has Officially Adopt Bluetooth Low Energy Technology

The quality of a device is not only seen from their performance capabilities, but it can be seen from different sides of view. One of the devices have good quality and reliable, can also be seen from how frugally and efficiently operate the device. And efficient-saving devices and certainly has a yearning and hope today.

Accordingly, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is rumored to have just been announced that it has officially adopted the low energy Bluetooth technology. And this is certainly a part of the core specification 4.0 Bluetooth devices to come.

By applying the energy requirements of a Bluetooth device, it will enable improvements such as: the level of the lowest, average and idle power consumption mode, the ability to run for years on coin-cell battery standard, low cost, multi-vendor interoperability and coverage has been improved.

In its application later, the producers are expected to use the current Bluetooth chips (Bluetooth 2.1 or Bluetooth 3.0 EDR HS) with the latest low energy stack.

Bluetooth SIG also showed that low-energy Bluetooth to send the packets are very small at 1Mbps speeds though. It also can jump in frequency, have only 3ms latency, and safe to use.

Just based on what was announced by the Bluetooth SIG itself, it hopes eventually to devices using Bluetooth low energy will soon be available in the summer of 2010. Well, we’ll see.
