Bluetooth HDT boosts bandwidth to 7.5 Mbps, promising lossless audio

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced a new feature called High Data Throughput (HDT) that significantly increases Bluetooth bandwidth to 7.5 Mbps. This upgrade aims to address long-standing criticisms from audiophiles regarding Bluetooth's inability to transmit lossless audio due to insufficient bandwidth. While not all devices supporting Bluetooth Core Specification 7.0 will automatically have HDT, the feature promises improved reliability and lower power consumption for high-bandwidth applications like AI, spatial computing, and particularly for high-resolution audio transmission. AI

IMPACT Enables higher bandwidth for AI applications and devices, potentially improving real-time data processing and interaction.
