The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced the Bluetooth 4.1 update, which brings several new improvements to the Bluetooth Core Specification including better support for LTE, bulk data exchange rates, and increased role as the essential wireless link for the Internet of Things.
“We updated the Bluetooth specification to address this projected growth, making changes to give developers more control in assigning a role to their product, limiting interference with other wireless technologies, and allowing Bluetooth Smart products to exchange data faster and maintain connections with less manual intervention,” said Suke Jawanda, Bluetooth SIG CMO. “We will continue to sculpt Bluetooth wireless technology to extend its critical role in enabling the Internet of Things and ensure it is the very best solution for OEMs, developers and, ultimately, consumers.”

New Bluetooth 4.1 update enhances its’ technology including a seamless connection with LTE radios without any interference, more room for developers to make better software features using dual-mode topology and link-layer topology, and continued bulk data transfers- “For example, through this new capability, sensors, which gathered data during a run, bike ride or swim, transfer that data more efficiently when the consumer returns home.”
