The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has released the key specifications for Bluetooth 6.0, bringing significant improvements in positioning accuracy, data security, and audio transmission speed.
One of the standout features of Bluetooth 6.0 is Bluetooth Channel Sounding, which will enable precise distance measurement down to the centimeter for compatible devices. This advancement is expected to benefit beacon technologies and mobile ecosystems.
Additionally, the protocol introduces Decision-Based Advertising Filtering, which speeds up secondary channel scanning, and Monitoring Advertisers, which enhances energy efficiency. The update is also anticipated to reduce latency in connecting audio devices, such as TWS earbuds.
The exact timeline for the release of the first chips and gadgets supporting Bluetooth 6.0 has not been specified, but the rollout could take several years.
