Bluetooth SIG High Data Throughput standard adoption

Overview

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has introduced the High Data Throughput (HDT) specification as an optional extension within the Bluetooth Core 7.0 standard. This update increases the maximum data transfer rate from 2 Mbps to 7.5 Mbps.

The increased bandwidth is intended to enable standardized lossless audio transmission, potentially reducing industry reliance on proprietary codecs. The technology is also designed to support high-demand applications such as spatial computing, augmented reality, virtual reality, and AI-powered wearable devices.

Industry representatives from companies including Samsung, Nordic Semiconductor, and Qualcomm have noted the potential for improved energy efficiency, as faster data transmission allows wireless radios to return to low-power states more quickly. Because the upgrade involves changes to the physical layer, new hardware is required to support these capabilities.
