Bluetooth is one of the most widely used wireless communication technologies today.
Bluetooth technology has been around since 1994 and has been around for generations.
The latest generation, Bluetooth 5, offers faster data rates and a wider range. You can now transfer data from 1MBps to 2MBps.
That’s 800 percent more than the previous Bluetooth 4.2. The range is four times wider than Bluetooth 4.2. Bluetooth 4.0 is available up to 200 feet (60 meters), while Bluetooth 5 is available up to 800 feet (240 meters). You can use it while listening to music on your phone.
According to Mark Powell, director of the Bluetooth SIG, the high-performance of the Bluetooth 5 can extend the range of data transmissions, and at home, it can send data even between walls between two transmitters.
Bluetooth 5 makes it easy to connect to smart home devices called IoT (Internet of Things), an added feature in Bluetooth 4.2.
Later Bluetooth 5 technology will include location-based navigation and navigation, so you can send data via location-based Bluetooth without the need for proxy apps.
