Bluetooth 5 Now Available to Device Manufacturers, Offering 2X Speed and 4X Range Improvements
By Chance Miller/ 9To5MAC/ 9to5mac.com

"Earlier this year, it was announced that Bluetooth 5 would be the new wireless standard, replacing Bluetooth 4.2 and now, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group has officially adopted the platform and made it available to manufacturers to use in devices…

Bluetooth 5 includes a variety of enhancements to the wireless technology. The standard offers longer range, faster speeds, and much more, as originally teased over a year ago.

Compared to the Bluetooth 4.2 protocol, Bluetooth 5 offers a range that’s four times longer, meaning that you don’t have to worry as much about moving too far away from a device to which you’re wirelessly connected. Furthermore, Bluetooth 5 offers two times the speed of Bluetooth 4.2, making it faster to transmit data via the technology.

Both of these improvements mean that Bluetooth devices can now provide whole-home and building coverage, as well as be used in a variety of different settings in outdoor, industrial, and commercial environments:

“This means whole-home and building coverage, as well as new use cases for outdoor, industrial, and commercial applications will be a reality. With the launch of Bluetooth 5, we continue to evolve to meet the needs of IoT developers and consumers while staying true to what Bluetooth is at its core: the global wireless standard for simple, secure, connectivity.”..."
