Shanghai, China - on November 17, 2015, the Bluetooth technology alliance (Bluetooth Special Interest Group, SIG) released in advance of Bluetooth technology roadmap in 2016 key projects, according to the plan will focus on the optimization of Internet of things (IoT) the functionality of the related technologies. Major update will include a long communication distance, faster transmission speed and Mesh networking capabilities. In 2016, the evolution of bluetooth technology will further to include intelligent household, industrial automation, location-based services, and intelligent infrastructure such as high growth industries inject more momentum.
Bluetooth technology alliance, chairman of the board of Toby Nixon said: "our alliance member companies and the industry is really need the function of bluetooth technology in these aspects ascension. The latest forecasts suggest that by 2025, and potential market value of the Internet of things is expected between $2 million and $11.1 million, and is expected to complete in 2016 by optimization of the bluetooth technology, we will make these predictions come true and accelerate the growth of the Internet of things."
New technology will bring growing variety of iot applications of a series of benefits. Bluetooth, for example, Smart range up to 4 times will be expanded, change the Smart home applications and infrastructure for the different conditions of the whole and interior space or outdoor transmission distance is longer, the connection quality more stable wireless connection. Transmission speed under the condition of without increasing power consumption will increase to the current 100%, for critical applications such as medical devices to achieve faster data transmission, in order to improve the response speed and reduce the time delay. And Mesh networking capabilities to make the bluetooth network coverage throughout the building or the whole homes, made within the scope of the bluetooth devices connected to each other, more open intelligent household and industrial automation applications.
Bluetooth union chief executive Mark Powell said: "the bluetooth technology roadmap effectively interpret the bluetooth technology alliance to promote the innovation industry when the catalyst role. Bluetooth to date has been adopted by many developers and manufacturers, selected for their connection solutions in the field of Internet of things. And we will soon add functionality, to further consolidate the bluetooth as the status of main technology in Internet of things."
Bluetooth technology alliance member companies to launch oriented development tools, such as the recent release of Bluetooth Developer Studio software development kit and training programme will also keep pace with The Times, in order to ensure to provide strong support for developers, help them to understand and use the Internet of things. At the same time, more functions and configuration of the bluetooth technology roadmap in 2016 file update will be published in recent months.
