Bluetooth® 5 Test and Technology Fundamentals

应用文章

Bluetooth® technology has been around for close to 20 years and gone through five generations. V1.0 was meant for cable replacement with low data rate. V2.0 was enhanced with a faster data rate. V3.0 introduced the high-speed mode of 24 Mbps. The versions up to V3.0 are known as Bluetooth® Classic.

In Bluetooth® 4.0, Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) was introduced with a data rate of 260 kbps. It was optimized for low power devices so that it can run for a long period with small current consumption.
