Bluetooth 4.2 For Safe and Smart Connection
As there is lot of work going on towards smart IT products, that are supposed to make our lives more easy. The latest version of Bluetooth, version 4.2 has been announced by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. The new version of connectivity brings greater security, better speeds and IP connectivity. The new version enhances security by making it harder to track people. People using Apple iBeacon, for instance, can't be tracked, unless permission has been granted.
The speed is also notably faster; Bluetooth 4.2 increases speed by 2.5 times over the previous releases, thanks to the increase in size of data packets which can store almost ten times as much data as before. Lastly, you have the ability to connect to the internet. IP connectivity will have hardware constraints so won't be available to every phone or device out there. Gadgets that have it, though, will have the ability to be connected and altered through the internet directly, if you don't have the access.
The new setup will likely to reach to the general public somewhere in the middle of the next year and let’s hope for good things. This can really play a decisive role in the popularization of the technology of the future. While a software update can activate Bluetooth 4.1, a trimmed-down version of the connectivity, to use all features, your smartphone would require a special Bluetooth adapter, meaning a hardware update.
