Ultra-Low Power Bluetooth
Posted on Apr 14, 08 06:16 PM PDT
CSR has demonstrated its Ultra-Low Power (ULP) Bluetooth hardware which is touted to be up to 50 times faster than what we have today. Instead of sending out more data, ULP consumes a phenomenally low amount of power during transfer - 1/50th to be exact, and takes just 1/10th the amount when making the initial connection. CSR also said that it is possible to implement ULP alongside Bluetooth 2.1 in a dual-mode radio. With such low power consumption, it is no surprise to see ULP devices achieve extreme standby times - in theory, at least. Sounds as though further research and development might even make Bluetooth connectivity in wireless heartrate monitors a possibility in the near future.
