Bluetooth SIG, the association responsible for the development of Bluetooth specifications, has officially announced version 5.1, which allows the positioning of a device up to a centimeter at home. The new feature helps devices determine the direction of the Bluetooth signal by dramatically improving tracking accuracy.
The current version of Bluetooth connectivity allows between 1 and 10 meters. The new version will also be able to determine where the signal comes from, which will change tracking technology.
"They are continuing to look for ways to develop this market through technological improvements that better respond to the needs of the sector, demonstrating the commitment of the community," said Mark Powell, CEO of Bluetooth SIG. "Some jobs are designed for those who lose their devices and are aiming to apply them to other areas, Encouraging innovation and enriching the technological experience of users around the world. "
Currently there is no official date for the Bluetooth 5.1 version, but developers can now start testing to prepare for its arrival. In addition, the availability of this new version will depend on each manufacturer, so access may be delayed slightly.
