The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced from CTIA WIRELESS 2007 details of a new specification which will continue the evolution of the short-range wireless technology and enhance the consumer experience.
Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) will soon be ready for members to develop products that take advantage of numerous enhancements.

The new version of the specification adds:
* Improved Pairing - Makes the initial connection of Bluetooth devices easier for all users by reducing the number of steps in the pairing process.
* Lower Power Consumption - Further reduces the power consumption
The improved pairing provides a consistent and intuitive pairing solution that includes finding devices, securing the link and authenticating the devices. The improved pairing process reduces the steps for the user, improves the security, and establishes the connection in only a few seconds. Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR offers further optimized power consumption through a feature called Sniff Subrating which aims to increase current battery life by up to five times.
All devices with Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR will be backwards compatible with all earlier Bluetooth specifications and will support pairing techniques employed by devices without the improved pairing feature.
