Bluetooth® Channel Sounding Media Kit

Bluetooth® Channel Sounding will apply to consumer, enterprise, and industrial settings alike. Imagine Bluetooth mice, keyboards, and game controllers that can automatically switch between active and inactive states based on their distance from a laptop. In industrial settings, distance aware Bluetooth Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solutions can increase personnel safety by only allowing usage from a safe distance. Meanwhile, Bluetooth device networks, such as those used for networked lighting control, can more easily self-configure to enhance system performance using this innovative technology. With 1.35 billion Bluetooth connected devices forecasted to ship in 2024 alone, the opportunities are significant.
