The new Bluetooth version 4.2 was released this week by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group , responsible for developing this connection standard, focusing on the Internet of Things market trend as well as new devices launched on the market.

This new version of Bluetooth offers increased security and improved data transfer performance, being able to handle files 10 times larger and transfer them up to 2.5 times faster than the previous version.

Greater efficiency in data transfer will result in lower senegal whatsapp list consumption, an important highlight for wearable devices. These devices generally use Bluetooth primarily to connect to other devices, and because their batteries are compact, high energy consumption is one of the main obstacles for these devices.

Compatibility with IP connection standards with the internet has also increased to IPv6/6LoWPAN, in addition to the possibility of using encryption, which increases security when exchanging data between devices.

This new technology is expected to hit the market in the second quarter of 2015, with some features only available on new devices, even considering the principle of maintaining compatibility with devices with previous Bluetooth versions.
