Who knew that something seemingly so obscure for all of these years would suddenly become so popular?
Half of the Bluetooth Enabled Devices Shipped in 2013 will be Smart or Smart Ready, Says ABI ResearchThe growth of Bluetooth v4.0 (Smart and Smart Ready) devices has been phenomenal, from zero shipments in 2010 to over 1 billion shipments in 2013. This speaks to the desire for ultra-low power wireless technology across the industry.
The total Bluetooth enabled device market is expected to go beyond 4 billion devices shipped annually in 2017 and as the market expands it's increasingly being driven by devices that are v4.0 enabled. It's clear that the development of ultra-low power Bluetooth has, and will continue, to keep Bluetooth as a relevant technology in the burgeoning Internet of Everything market.
Reminds me of an old Radio Shack commercial. "WHAT is Bluetooth? I don't know but I want it!"
