Bluetooth 4.0 Spec Adopted

Posted by timothy on from the so-my-money's-wasted-on-nuclear-batteries dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "The Bluetooth SIG announced the formal adoption of Bluetooth Core Specification Version 4.0, which begins the qualification process for new, low-power devices. Bluetooth 4.0 [zipped PDF of the spec] was formally announced in April, and added a new, ultra-low-power aspect to the short-range personal-area-network technology. According to the SIG, the new 4.0 core specification should allow devices to run on coin-cell batteries for years with a new ultra-low-power duty mode."

    I was hoping to see them establish a Power over BlueTooth in the standard but I guess we have to wait for 5?
