One of the most notable features of Bluetooth 6.0 is “Channel Sounding,” a technology that enables devices to determine the exact distance between each other with centimeter-level accuracy. This innovation, often compared to Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, allows for precise location tracking, making it easier to find lost items such as keys, wallets, or smartphones.
Bluetooth 6.0’s Channel Sounding will significantly improve the accuracy of locating devices for applications like Apple’s “Find My” network. This feature will be particularly beneficial for users of tracking tags from companies like Chipolo and Tile, offering more robust and precise finding controls.
Moreover, Bluetooth 6.0 also introduces enhanced security features, particularly useful for applications such as keyless car opening and smart locks. The new standard includes an additional layer of security that ensures devices can only be unlocked when an authorized device is within a specific distance, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and adding a layer of protection against potential security breaches.
