A numerical jump in the Bluetooth standard does not happen often. Bluetooth 6.0 is introduced with the promise of improved device localizationand the security of digital car keys, among other more technical innovations.
The Bluetooth standard is the most widely used medium-distance wireless connection. With a range of a few dozen meters, Everyone uses Bluetooth to connect headphones, speakers, gamepads and many other devices to mobile, TV, console, etc.
Bluetooth 5 was released in 2016, so we’ve had to wait eight years for a new numerical jump. What does Bluetooth 6.0 offer?
Bluetooth 6.0: features
The main novelty of Bluetooth 6.0 is what it calls Bluetooth Channel Sounding either Bluetooth Channel Sound. It refers to Communication between locator devices where a distance must be calculated. For example, finding a device with the function Find My mobile phones or an AirTag, or opening a car with a digital key.
Bluetooth 6.0 promises to do this “with centimeter-level accuracy,” using phase-based ranging to send radio signals between two devices at different frequencies.
Channel Sounding not only will it allow you to accurately locate any object. It will also will increase the security of digital car keysby operating only at a much more precise range, preventing devices that intercept the signal from acting. Say goodbye to aluminum foil on your keys…
Bluetooth 6.0 introduces other new features, but they are more technical. Achieve savings on Bluetooth LE battery consumptionby reducing warning signals when one device asks to connect to another.
In addition, improvements to the ISOAL protocol will benefit audio applications that require low latency. Features have also been added for devices that can now be linked via Bluetooth.
The first basic features of Bluetooth 6.0 have already been revealed. But there is no date yet for its possible release on our mobile phones or computers.
