Bluetooth becomes nearly four times faster next year
Published
Bluetooth will become much faster next year. The new Bluetooth standard increases the maximum speed from 2 Mbit/s to 7.5 Mbit/s. That is roughly four times as fast as it is now.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that connects devices with each other, such as headphones, speakers, smartwatches and keyboards. Until now, Bluetooth speed has mainly mattered for small amounts of data, such as music or sending a message. With the new standard, devices can send larger files more quickly.
The first devices that use the faster connection are expected to reach the market during the course of next year. It is not yet clear which products will support it first. Users should therefore check whether their own devices can use the new standard.
The faster version of Bluetooth will be especially noticeable to people who use wireless devices every day. It is a technical improvement, but it may make using many devices easier in the future.
