Bluetooth is pretty cool, despite the fact that it has spawned that most laughable of people - the headset (even when it's really not necessary) wearer. Now there's a new kid on the block in the short-range wireless district in the form of Wibree.
Wibree uses a lot less power than bluetooth (ten times less than blue tooth), so it can be used in smaller devices and that opens up a lot of new possibilities. It is implemented either as stand-alone chip or as a Bluetooth-Wibree dual-mode chip. In fact, it can use the same hardware as bluetooth so costs are low. Wibree operates at a range of up to 10 meters and with a data rate of 1-Mbit per second.
Wibree uses the same spectrum as of bluetooth (2.4GHz).
Nokia is behind the new technology and they think it has lots of potential uses in devices that were traditionally too small for bluetooth, such as wristwatches. They hope to bring it to market in 2007.
"Wibree technology is an important development that opens up new market opportunities and a whole new range of possibilities for mobile users. Our aim is to establish an industry standard faster than ever before by offering an interoperable solution that can be commercialized and incorporated into products quickly," said Dr. Bob Iannucci, head of the Nokia Research Center.
If you were wondering what the derivation of the word 'Wibree' is, so are we. Nokia has remained tightlipped about it so far.
