To Bluetooth 4.0 γίνεται Bluetooth Smart Ready

Το νέο πρωτόκολλο Bluetooth 4.0 μετονομάζεται πλέον σε “Bluetooth Smart” από την επιτροπή Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), στην οποία συμμετέχει και η Apple.

Το Bluetooth 4.0 έκανε την εμφάνισή του αρχικά στο MacBook Air του 2011 και στο Mac mini ενώ και το iPhone 4S αποτελεί το πρώτο smartphone που υποστηρίζει την τεχνολογία.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced two new brand extensions to its globally recognized logo today in an effort to create consumer awareness around compatibility for new devices implementing Bluetooth v4.0 – the Bluetooth Smart Ready trademark and the Bluetooth Smart trademark. Bluetooth Smart Ready devices are phones, tablets, PCs and TVs that sit at the center of a consumer’s connected world and implement a Bluetooth v4.0 dual mode radio. Bluetooth Smart devices are sensor-type devices like heart-rate monitors or pedometers that run on button-cell batteries and were built to collect a specific piece of information. Bluetooth Smart devices include only a single-mode low energy Bluetooth v4.0 radio.
Bluetooth Smart devices are designed to gather a specific type of information—are all the windows on my house locked, what is my insulin level, how much do I weigh today?—and send it to a Bluetooth Smart Ready device.
