Main new features of bluetooth 5.0

The bluetooth communication system has become, after several ups and downs, one of the most widely used communication standards in the world. In its first versions, we all used this communication system to pass both contacts and images and videos from one terminal to another, it was the fastest way without having to resort to a PC and the applications of both mobiles, applications that we did not use again never more.

But bluetooth technology has come a long way in these years. One of the main advantages that has made it advance is the low energy consumption with the arrival of version 4.0, with which having a device connected to the smartphone 24 hours a day has little effect on the battery and as an example we have the smartwatches that use this system communication to connect to the smartphone.

Last week, Bluetooth SGI, the body in charge of research and development of this communication system, announced version number 5 of this communication protocol, which will arrive at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, so it is very likely that the new iPhone models cannot make use of all the advantages that it will offer us compared to the current version 4.x of the latest iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch models.

Bluetooth SGI has focused on expanding the range of action so that connections with IoT devices are made in a simpler, safer and faster way, in addition to expanding their range, the range has been increased four times. In addition, the speed of connection and data transmission has been increased by up to 800%.

This organization has also focused on beacons, beacons as they are called in English, so that this communication protocol becomes a standard both in homes, as in companies, in shopping centers ... since they will inform us promptly according to our position, thanks to its wide radius of action.
