After the introduction of the new iPhone 4S and the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system will have built-in Low Energy Bluetooth 4.0 driver, it has injected strong kinetic energy for the growth of Bluetooth 4.0, including MediaTek, Cambridge Wireless Semiconductor ( CSR) and Texas Instruments (TI) have already launched chip solutions, and it is expected that a large number of peripheral devices equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 three-dimensional (3D) glasses, Android watches and personal computers (PC) will be available at the end of this year or the first half of next year.
Rong Rongliang, Technical Marketing Manager of the Greater China Region of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance (SIG), said that the built-in Bluetooth 4.0 driver for Windows 8 is expected to pave the way for Bluetooth 4.0 technology to enter the IT field, especially wireless mice, keyboards, and portable speakers. , 3D glasses and universal serial bus (USB) devices; even Bluetooth mobile phones, watches and other products equipped with Android systems have been actively developed by Taiwan and Japanese manufacturers, and it is expected to launch new products before Christmas and grab the consumption at the end of the year The huge business opportunities of the boom.
Lu Rongliang, Technical Marketing Manager of the Greater China Region of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance, said that observing the development of Bluetooth 4.0, it can be found that various application devices have been planted at the end of the year or the first half of next year, and there will be a harvest after the combination of software and hardware next year.
Seeing that Microsoft's powerful drivers will greatly increase the compatibility of Bluetooth 4.0 products and open the way for its development, global wireless chip manufacturers have already begun to deploy. Lu Rongliang revealed that the development of MediaTek, Texas Instruments and CSR on the Bluetooth 4.0 chip has been rapid, and terminal product design has been introduced. For example, Lenovo plans to use the Bluetooth 4.0 chip of MediaTek in the next generation of smartphones; Samsung will also be listed soon The 3D glasses and Jinglun will launch the USB device defined in the Bluetooth Proximity Profile and Find Me in November. The CSR chip has been used to jointly unveil the prelude of the Bluetooth 4.0 product.
Not only that, Apple ’s iPhone 4S, which was officially launched recently, also took the lead in carrying the Bluetooth 4.0 specification, which shows that the technology can also be expected to spread from the PC side to mobile phones, consumer electronics and wireless smart homes in the future, and application devices will also follow. To show the high applicability and ultra-low power consumption of version 4.0.
Lu Rongliang expects that the mobile device market will be fiercely contested. After the iPhone 4S is the first to introduce the Bluetooth 4.0 function, it will drive the Android and Windows Phone camps to follow up. He further revealed that HTC, Lenovo and Nokia have all evaluated the introduction of Bluetooth 4.0 into their mobile phone designs in order to develop more applications with wireless transmission functions, while taking into account the low power consumption requirements of mobile devices.
It is worth noting that Texas Instruments ’Bluetooth 4.0 chips are also imported into Taiwan ’s IT product manufacturers, like Elephant, Baode ’s portable speakers and wireless mice, as well as Japanese factory Casio and G-shock, which are expected to come out next year. A watch that instantly monitors heartbeat pulses with Bluetooth 4.0 technology.
In addition, Precero has also selected Texas Instruments chips to create a touch watch on the Android platform, striving for real-time communication with smartphone information, such as missed calls and message prompts; however, the first version of this watch will be tested with Bluetooth 2.1 specifications The water temperature is expected to be introduced into the 4.0 specification next year, further extending the standby time to avoid the inconvenience of frequent charging.
Lv Rongliang also pointed out that Texas Instruments is currently working with Logitech, a computer peripheral equipment manufacturer, to develop a cooperation plan covering mouse, keyboard and other necessary peripheral equipment for PCs. After Windows 8 is officially released, Bluetooth 4.0 products will be fully available in the PC field. Loudly.
