The Bluetooth spec marches forward to version 3.0 as well. Broadcom, a maker of wireless radio chipsets and other internal bits, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadcom.com\/press\/release.php?id=s442042\">says it&#8217;s ready for the Bluetooth 3.0 now<\/a>, both from a hardware and software perspective. Broadcom&#8217;s\u00a0BCM2070,\u00a0BCM2075, BCM43225 and\u00a0BCM4325 chips, along with the BCM94312 half mini-card Bluetooth + WLAN solution are already certified for Bluetooth 3.0 + HS, which stands for &#8220;high speed.&#8221; And the company&#8217;s\u00a0BTE-Mobile 3.15.2, BTW 5.6, and BTW 6 software also meet the spec. So what are the big benefits of these advances? Broadcom sums it up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 times the transmission speed over previous Bluetooth specifications.<\/li>\n<li>Expanded capabilities for remote control applications featuring Unicast Connectionless Data (UCD) functionality that enables low power operation and reduced latency for CE remote control applications.<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced powerful security capabilities with support for the new Read Encryption Key Size feature that allows Bluetooth applications to ensure an appropriate level of communications security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Put in simpler terms: Bluetooth 3.0 + HS brings faster, more secure wireless transactions and better power management. One of the key features is the speedier transfer rates, which can leverage 802.11n Wi-Fi for up to 24 Mbps of data throughput. That sounds eerily similar to the <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/02\/19\/bluetooth-over-wifi-looks-amazing\/\">Bluetooth over Wi-Fi demos we saw this time last year<\/a> &#8212; and in fact, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluetooth.com\/Bluetooth\/Technology\/Works\/Core_Specification_v30.htm\">the Bluetooth SIG specifically mentions &#8220;Alternate MAC\/PHY,&#8221;<\/a> which was the method used in last year&#8217;s demo.
