Bluetooth 3.0 Now Official
Techtree News Staff, Apr 22, 2009 1112 hrs ISTWill be available in the next 9 to 12 month period
The now ubiquitous Bluetooth technology just got another shot of life with the announcement of Bluetooth 3.0, the next iteration of one of the world's most popular short-range wireless technology.
We had reported last week about the Bluetooth SIG's intentions to announce the adoption of Bluetooth 3.0 on April 21. In a press release issues by the SIG, the details about the new standard have been disclosed, which will be backward compatible, like Bluetooth 2.0 was with its earlier version.
Bluetooth 3.0 will enable faster transfer speeds with the adoption of the 802.11 radio protocol. This enables increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. Bluetooth 3.0 also promises increased power savings for mobile devices and handhelds, thanks to enhanced power control built in. You might term this one as a major update to the current version 2.1 with EDR (Enhanced Data Rates).
The first lot of consumer devices using Bluetooth 3.0 will be available in the next 9 to 12 month period. For more a list of supported products, you might want to take a look at the Bluetooth Gadget Guide here.
