Bluetooth Technology is Faster with Bluetooth 3.0


People using Bluetooth products

The need for speed comes from wireless devices doing more than just delivering voice communication. The manufacturers of consumer electronic devices are building smaller, more functional products that exceed our needs in most cases. Bluetooth technology must keep up the pace, and Bluetooth 3.0 delivers on the requirements for wireless devices that deliver large video files, music and photos.

The good news for consumers is the Bluetooth 3.0 devices have power control built in the device. This means longer battery life and use between charges. Those who understand radio protocols will appreciate the 802.11 speeds that Bluetooth 3.0 uses. This means data transfers will have an approximate rate of 24 Mbps!

The best way to find Bluetooth enabled devices is to search the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

Bluetooth 3.0

Does this mean that 802.11 is better than Bluetooth?

Bluetooth 3.0

802.11 and Bluetooth are different protocols. The executive director, Michael Foley, Ph.D. of the Bluetooth SIG has this to say about the inclusion of 802.11 in Bluetooth devices, "Utilizing the 802.11 radio was a natural choice as it provides efficiencies for both our members and consumers – members get more function out of the two radios they are already including in devices, and consumers with Bluetooth 3.0 + HS products will get faster exchange of information without changing how they connect. We are excited to expand the possibilities of the PAN.”

Bluetooth 3.0 = Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + High Speed (HS)

In the end your Blootooth SIG approved devices going forward will be moving your data faster then ever before.
