At the World Bluetooth Conference last week, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), an industry group that developed the Bluetooth standard, announced a new energy-saving specification for IoT devices.

According to the IOT Journal, this new specification called Transport Discovery Service (TDS) will enable communication between IoT devices to be energy efficient. This new specification applies to devices with Bluetooth version 4.0 and newer Bluetooth versions.

With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, Bluetooth has also been widely integrated into the technology, and it is particularly important to improve the energy consumption of IoT devices. According to ABI research, by 2020, about one-third of IoT devices will carry a Bluetooth.

"The purpose of this new specification is to make wireless technology more relevant," said Errett Kroeter, senior brand and market development director at Bluetooth SIG.

Kroeter said that the Bluetooth low energy specification has caused widespread interest among networked device manufacturers, saying that TDS can greatly increase the battery life of wireless devices.

Competition in the field of energy saving in the Internet of Things

However, organizations such as the ZigBee Alliance and the Wi-Fi Alliance must integrate TDS into their own agreements before TDS is widely adopted. Kroeter said that if someone is willing to work with the Bluetooth SIG to develop and commercialize the standard, then TDS will work, and TDS will appear on the market in the next few years.

In fact, the competition for energy conservation in the communications technology industry is also fierce. The Wi-Fi Alliance announced a new type of Wi-Fi at this year's CES conference, called Wi-Fi HaLow, which works with low-power devices.

The Wi-Fi Alliance plans to begin certification of HaLow products in 2018.

In addition to the TDS specification, the Bluetooth SIG is also upgrading its Bluetooth core specifications. The new specifications will not increase the power consumption of Bluetooth-enabled devices, but there will be a significant increase in data transfer speed. The specification is expected to be released in the second half of 2016.
