Apart from WiFi 802.11n and LTE-based 4G networks, we can now add Bluetooth 3.0 as one of the new wireless connectivity standards to look forward to as far as mobile devices are concerned. It is expected to be announced on April 21, and will work in tandem with WiFi 802.11n technology. Bluetooth 3.0 will take advantage of WiFi 802.11n connection for faster data transfer speed rates while the low power consumption of Bluetooth will allow for better power management when WiFi is no longer in use or when in idle mode. This is a simple yet innovative way of improving the performance of Bluetooth technology. With that being the case, we’re guessing that WiFi 802.11n will become standard on Bluetooth 3.0 enabled devices.

The companies which will be supporting this new standard will also be announced on April 21st. This is definitely something we’re excited about, and hopefully, the major players in the industry such as Apple, Nokia and Samsung have already signed up for this technology. Stay tuned folks, this is going to be a good one!
